Chase Budinger returned from a three-game absence to score 21 points with eight rebounds as the Rockets used a strong second-half performance to take down the Wizards, 103-76.

 

John Wall had 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists for the Wizards, who fell to 0-8 away from home this season.

The game remained tight in the second as the Rockets led by just three at the break, 44-41.

 

Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Deron Williams recorded a double-double with 27 points and 10 assists as the Nets held off the Cavaliers 99-96 at Quicken Loans Arena.

The Nets have now won three of four, closing out a three game road trip. New Jersey returns home Sunday to take on Toronto.

 

The Cavaliers, who trailed by as many as 17 in the fourth, had the margin down just six with 24.9 seconds to play.

 

Sundiata Gaines missed two from the line for the Nets, and Anderson Varejao's deep two with 16.9 seconds left put his team down 97-93. Video replay confirmed Varejao's toe was barely touching the line.

The Nets, who entered the game leading the NBA in three-pointers made, found their stroke from outside in the third as they hit five of their eight three- pointers to take a 72-61 lead entering the final stanza.
