Clippers' Livingston out 8-to-12 months

WASHINGTON (AP) The Washington Wizards played the Philadelphia 76ers in a neighborhood that was torched during the 1968 riots.

Now it's an area known for shops, restaurants, shows and sports. There's a street called "Abe Pollin Way" and a state-of-the-art arena known as the Verizon Center, all legacies of the man who risked his fortune on a project that would revitalize a troubled part of town.

Tuesday night's scene was just as Pollin would have liked it, right down to the Wizards' 108-107 victory, which came hours after he died at the age of 85.

Cavs' O'Neal out for sixth straight game

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) Cleveland Cavaliers center Shaquille O'Neal is out for Wednesday's game against Detroit with an injured shoulder, the sixth game in a row he will miss.

O'Neal hasn't played since a Nov. 12 win over Miami. Read More...

Nets drop to 0-14 with loss to Nuggets

DENVER (AP) In a season already full of losses for New Jersey, this might have been a new low.

Nets coach Lawrence Frank called his team's performance "unacceptable" as it dropped its 14th straight game to start the season. Read More...

Wizards hold on for emotional win

WASHINGTON (AP) There was no way that last shot could go in. No way the Washington Wizards could lose their first game in 46 seasons without their beloved owner.

Louis Williams' 3-pointer at the buzzer rimmed out, giving the Wizards an emotional 108-107 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night, hours after the death of team owner Abe Pollin. Read More...

Ellis' 37 help Warriors end Mavs' streak

DALLAS (AP) Golden State was down to eight healthy players - and used only six. Warriors coach Don Nelson wasn't with the team as he recovers from pneumonia. Still, Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry wouldn't let injuries or sickness become an excuse.

Ellis scored 13 of his season-high 37 points in the fourth quarter, Curry added 11 of his 18 points in the final 4 minutes and the Warriors ended Dallas' five-game winning streak with a 111-103 victory over the short-handed Mavericks on Tuesday night. Read More...

Lakers' size, Bryant's 34 beat Knicks

LOS ANGELES (AP) When Lakers 7-footers Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum lined up for the opening tip against New York's comparatively pint-sized front line, anybody who has ever seen a pickup game between poorly chosen teams could have predicted what happened next.

Los Angeles just had way too much size and strength for the Knicks - and if the Lakers can just hone their finishing skills, they'll be close to the complete team coach Phil Jackson expects. Read More...

Durant's 28 lift Thunder over Jazz

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) The Oklahoma City Thunder passed the ball all over the court, played smothering defense and looked like a team with legitimate hopes of making the playoffs.

The young Thunder also reminded the Jazz that Utah's home court is an advantage, not a guarantee. Read More...

Bosh, Calderon lead Raptors past Pacers

TORONTO (AP) The Raptors didn't need a big game from Chris Bosh to beat the struggling Pacers. Another lackluster effort by Indiana made it easy work.

Chris Bosh had 16 points and 12 rebounds, Jose Calderon scored a season-high 21 points and Toronto handed the Pacers their fourth straight loss, 123-112 on Tuesday night. Read More...

Nash leads Suns to surprising fast start

PHOENIX (AP) The Phoenix Suns are supposed to be an aging NBA afterthought, a franchise that a couple of years ago saw its best title shot slip away.

Few could have foreseen the way this team has bolted out of the starting gate. With Steve Nash as good as ever, Amare Stoudemire on the mend and an array of sharpshooters firing away, the Suns are off to an 11-3 start. Read More...

Court: NY can seize land for Nets arena

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) New York's top court ruled Tuesday that the state can use eminent domain to force homeowners and businesses to sell their properties for a massive development in Brooklyn that includes a new arena for the New Jersey Nets.

In a 6-1 ruling Tuesday, the Court of Appeals said the Empire State Development Corp.'s finding that the area was blighted was enough to justify taking the land. Read More...
