MIAMI (AP) – Dwyane Wade scored 41 points, and Miami defeated the Washington Wizards, 90-76, to remain in first place in the Southeast Division.

Trail Blazers 93, Grizzlies 79: At Memphis, Tenn., Brandon Roy scored 20 points, LaMarcus Aldridge added 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Portland won its third consecutive game, against Memphis.

Magic 93, Bobcats 81: At Charlotte, N.C., Dwight Howard had 15 points and 10 rebounds, Vince Carter scored 15 points for Orlando in his return from a sprained ankle, and the Magic defeated Charlotte.

Mavericks 121, Rockets 103: At Dallas, Jason Terry scored 24 points, and Erick Dampier had 14 points and 20 rebounds for Dallas, which overcame an early 17-point deficit to defeat Houston.

Kings 101, Thunder 98: At Sacramento, Calif., Jason Thompson had 21 points and 14 rebounds to help Sacramento beat Oklahoma City, giving the Kings their first three-game winning streak in more than a year.
