Rondo had a career-high five 3-pointers and also finished with six rebounds and five assists in his first game at TD Garden in an opponent’s uniform. The rebuilding Celtics traded the four-time All-Star to Dallas last month. Monta Ellis scored 22 points, Dirk Nowitzki had 17 and Tyson Chandler collected 16 rebounds to help the Mavericks to their fourth consecutive victory. THUNDER 109, WIZARDS 102: At Oklahoma City, Kevin Durant scored 34 points to lead Oklahoma City. Durant was 12 for 18 from the field in just 32 minutes, including a 4-for-7 performance from 3-point range. Russell Westbrook had 22 points and six assists for the Thunder (17-17), who reached .500 for the first time this season. Oklahoma City shot 53 percent from the field to win for the fourth time in five games. PELICANS 111, ROCKETS 83: At New Orleans, Ryan Anderson scored 22 points and Tyreke Evans added 21, leading New Orleans. Dante Cunningham added 13 points for New Orleans, which opened a double-digit lead in the second quarter and led by as much as 32 in the second half. CAVALIERS 91, HORNETS 87: At Charlotte, N.C., Kevin Love scored 27 points, Kyrie Irving had 23 and Cleveland snapped a three-game losing streak. Tristan Thompson added 14 points and 14 rebounds as the Cavaliers won their first game since announcing LeBron James would miss two weeks with knee and back strains. Dion Waiters finished with 17 points. Love returned to the lineup after missing one start with back spasms and played 38 minutes. He was 9 of 15 from the field and helped the Cavaliers (19-14) take control of the game with three straight 3-pointers in the third quarter. NETS 100, MAGIC 98: At Orlando, Fla., Mason Plumlee had 18 points and nine rebounds, and Brooklyn earned its third straight victory. Brook Lopez and Deron Williams added 16 points apiece.

Jodie Meeks had 15 points for the Pistons (9-23), and Andre Drummond finished with seven points and 17 rebounds. PACERS 94, BUCKS 91: At Milwaukee, C.J. Miles scored 22 points and Roy Hibbert had 18, leading balanced Indiana to the victory. The Pacers had five players score in double figures in their fifth win in seven games. Luis Scola had 14 points, and Rodney Stuckey finished with 11. SUNS 112, 76ERS 96: At Phoenix, Gerald Green and Markieff Morris each scored 21 points, and Phoenix pulled away in the fourth quarter. With the Suns struggling against the NBA-worst Sixers, Green hit a 3-pointer in an 11-2 run to start the fourth and Phoenix grabbed control to snap a two-game losing streak. There was an NBA first late in the game when Markieff and Marcus Morris played with teammates Goran and Zoran Dragic for the Suns. It was the first time two sets of brothers played for a team at the same time. HAWKS 98, JAZZ 92: At Salt Lake City, Jeff Teague scored 25 points, and surging Atlanta picked up another victory. The Hawks (24-8) have won three straight and 19 of 22. Paul Millsap had 15 points and 11 rebounds, and Al Horford scored 13 points in Atlanta's sixth consecutive win over a Western Conference opponent. WARRIORS 126, RAPTORS 105: At Oakland, Calif., Stephen Curry had 32 points and 12 assists, Draymond Green got his first career triple-double and Golden State rolled in a matchup of conference leaders. Green finished with 16 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds, and three others scored in double digits to help the NBA-best Warriors (26-5) wear down the Raptors (24-9) in the second half. Golden State started the third quarter on a 23-5 run. GRIZZLIES 109, LAKERS 106: At Los Angeles, Mike Conley had 19 points and nine assists, Marc Gasol scored 18 points and the Grizzlies edged the Lakers.
