Milwaukee 102, at Denver 97: Even with Andrew Bogut ineffective and in foul trouble, the red-hot Bucks beat the West’s No. 2 team on the road even though they didn’t reach their hotel until 3 a.m. following a double-overtime win at Sacramento. John Salmons scored 26 points. The Nuggets had won seven straight at home and were 30-5 at the Pepsi Center coming in.

Boston 102, at Dallas 93: Paul Pierce scored 29 points, Rajon Rondo added 20 points and 10 rebounds, and the Celtics stretched their winning streak to four games. Dirk Nowitzki had 28 points for the Mavericks, who lost for only the second time in 16 games.

Toronto 100, at New Jersey 90: Chris Bosh scored 36 points and the Raptors handed the Nets their seventh straight loss and 13th in a row at home. New Jersey is 7-62, needing three wins in its last 13 games to avoid equaling the NBA mark for single-season futility, set by Philadelphia (9-73) in 1972-73.
