TORONTO (AP) Donyell Marshall had a season-high 32 points and Jalen Rose had 21 as the Toronto Raptors enjoyed a rare blowout with a 110-90 victory over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night.
Orlando star Tracy McGrady missed the game because of back spasms. He is listed as day-to-day for the Magic, who have lost four straight.
The Raptors went 11-for-14 from behind the 3-point arc and had their largest margin of victory this season.
The Raptors scored a season-high 63 points in the first half and led by 20 at halftime _ at that point the most points they've led by this season. Marshall's 3-pointer and Alvin Williams' jumper gave Toronto a 29-point lead in the fourth quarter.
Clippers 95, Celtics 86
BOSTON (AP) Quentin Richardson scored 36 points and Elton Brand had 22 points and 11 rebounds for Los Angeles, which sent the Celtics to their fifth straight loss.
Richardson scored 14 fourth-quarter points and keyed a 17-6 run over the final 7:41 when the Clippers overcame an 80-78 deficit. Richardson knocked down a career-high eight 3-pointers.
Boston has lost nine of 11 and is 0-4 under interim coach John Carroll.
Paul Pierce had 22 points and Jiri Welsch added 20 for the Celtics, who were outscored 25-12 in the fourth quarter.
Grizzlies 103, Wizards 101
WASHINGTON (AP) James Posey scored a season-high 31 points, and Pau Gasol made two clutch baskets in the final 70 seconds.
With the score tied at 99, Gasol backed in on Kwame Brown to put the Grizzlies in front with 1:08 to play. After a Wizards turnover, Gasol made it a four-point lead on a 16-footer from the left wing with 26 seconds remaining.
The victory gave Memphis coach Hubie Brown his 500th pro victory _ 396 in the NBA and 104 in the ABA. The Grizzlies need one more victory to tie the franchise record of 28 set last season.
Nets 99, Heat 88
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) Kenyon Martin celebrated his first All-Star selection with 24 points and 13 rebounds, and the New Jersey Nets remained unbeaten under coach Lawrence Frank.
Jason Kidd added 18 points, 11 rebounds and four assists as the Nets won their sixth straight overall and their fifth in a row since Frank replaced Byron Scott.
Scott's firing came three days after the two-time defending Eastern Conference champions were embarrassed by the Heat, dropping an 85-64 decision in Miami.
The Nets returned the favor on Wednesday, posting their sixth straight double-digit victory in a rough game that featured a flagrant foul and seven technicals.
Hawks 97, Timberwolves 89
ATLANTA (AP) Shareef Abdur-Rahim had 32 points, 14 rebounds and a key steal late in the game.
Jason Terry added 20 points, Stephen Jackson scored 17 and rookie Boris Diaw had the best game of his brief career. He tied season highs with 10 rebounds and eight assists, and was only one point off his best effort with seven.
Sam Cassell finished with 20 points and Kevin Garnett had 17 for the Timberwolves, who lost for only second time in 10 games.
With Minnesota trailing by three with 1:30 left, Abdur-Rahim swiped the ball from Garnett, which led to two clinching free throws by Diaw.
