Boston Celtics beat undermanned Bucks

Paul, who grew up nearby and bought 500 tickets for friends and family, recovered from a scoreless first half to have 20 points and 10 assists, but had a key turnover in the final minute before missing a tying 3-point attempt at the buzzer.

Grizzlies 109, Warriors 104 In Oakland, California, Hakim Warrick had 19 points and 10 rebounds and Memphis had its best offensive output of the season in beating Golden State.

Rookie O.J. Mayo added 20 points for the Grizzlies, who beat the Warriors for the second time in five days.

Golden State’s Andris Biedrins had 23 points and 12 rebounds. It’s the 13th consecutive double-double by Biedrins, the longest active streak in the NBA and the longest by a Warriors player since 1973.

Heat 99, Spurs 83 In San Antonio, Tony Parker sprained his left ankle and could be out two weeks, and Miami took advantage of his absence to beat San Antonio.

The Spurs dropped to 1-4, their worst start since 1996-97 _ a miserable season that gave San Antonio the No. 1 pick and the right to draft Tim Duncan.

Parker sustained a moderate lateral ankle sprain and will probably be out more than two weeks according to a team physician.

Nuggets 108, Mavericks 105 In Denver, Chauncey Billups began his second stint in Denver with 15 points as the Nuggets edged Dallas.

Billups also had three assists and three steals, including two down the stretch, while Carmelo Anthony added 28 points for Denver.

Rockets 92, Clippers 83 In Los Angeles, Ron Artest scored 23 points as Houston sent Los Angeles crashing to a sixth straight loss.

Reserve Carl Landry added six of his 20 points in the final 3-1/2 minutes to secure victory for the Rockets.
