Anthony Johnson scored 19 points and Peja Stojakovic added 16 and nine rebounds for the Pacers. Rookie guard Chris Paul led the Hornets with 27 points and six assists. He shot 8-for-15 from the field, but the rest of the team were only 17-for-59 (34 percent). Desmond Mason was the only other Hornets player in double figures with 12 points. The Pacers outrebounded the Hornets 49-39 in their third victory by more than 20 points this month and their fifth win by 11 points or more in their last seven games.

David West, New Orleans' leading scorer, missed the game to be with his wife and newborn child. Indiana shot 50 percent in the first half to take a 50-43 lead at the break. Paul kept the Hornets in the game with 17 points. Indiana opened the third quarter with a 7-0 run that forced New Orleans to call timeout. The Hornets could not recover as the Pacers held them to 6-for-22 shooting in the period to put the game away.

Indiana led 76-60 after the third and maintained its lead in the fourth. CAVALIERS 105, MAGIC 92: LeBron James rebounded from a poor-shooting first half and finished with 26 points to 16ad Cleveland Cavaliers over Orlando.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 24 points and 13 rebounds and Sasha Pavlovic a career-high 21 points for Cleveland. Two days after becoming the youngest All-Star game MVP in history, James made only four of his first 17 shots.

WIZARDS 90, TIMBERWOLVES 78: Gilbert Arenas scored 34 points, and Caron Butler had 19 points and 12 rebounds in the Wizards' eighth straight home victory.

CELTICS 103, JAZZ 83: Paul Pierce scored 30 points and Delonte West added 22 to lead Boston past Utah. The Celtics, who topped 100 points for the fourth straight game, missed only one shot in the third quarter and swept the Jazz for the second consecutive season. Pierce had his sixth straight game with at least 30 points, and his 17 points in the third quarter matched Utah's total as Boston outscored the Jazz 37-17. The Celtics lost guard Wally Szczerbiak early in the game after he collided with Utah's Milt Palacio in the lane.

Szczerbiak was carried from the court by his teammates and departed with a bruised left knee. Boston fell behind by 14 before rallying late in the second quarter and dominating the third.
