ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Tracy McGrady scored a team-record 62 points, becoming just the third NBA player in the past dozen years to score that many, in the Orlando Magic's 108-99 victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.

McGrady, who had 55 points in the final three periods, broke Shaquille O'Neal's team record of 53 points set against Minnesota in 1994. It was the league's first 60-point game since O'Neal had 61 for the Lakers against the Los Angeles Clippers on Mar. 6, 2000.

In the past 12 years, only David Robinson (71 vs. the Clippers on April 24, 1994) and Michael Jordan (63 vs. Orlando on Jan. 16, 1993) have scored as least 62 points in a game.

McGrady shot 20-for-37 from the field, including 5-for-14 from 3-point range, and made 17 of 26 free throws in 46 minutes. He also had 10 rebounds and five assists.

McGrady's previous career-high was 52 points against Chicago on Feb. 21, 2003.

Cavaliers 106, Raptors 92

TORONTO (AP) Zydrunas Ilgauskas scored 30 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers won their fifth in a row _ their longest winning streak in four years.

Carlos Boozer added 11 points and 13 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who hadn't won five in a row since December, 2000. Cleveland won its 11th road game, its most since 1997-98 _ the last time the Cavs made the playoffs.

LeBron James added 14 points as Cleveland moved two games ahead of Toronto in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The Cavaliers have won 14 of their past 18 games against Eastern opponents.

Vince Carter had 19 points for the Raptors, who have lost four of five.

Lakers 117, Celtics 109

BOSTON (AP) Kobe Bryant made a quicker-than-expected return from a shoulder injury and had 18 points and 10 assists to help snap the Celtics' six-game winning streak.

Shaquille O'Neal had 28 points and 17 rebounds and Gary Payton added 20 points.

The Celtics got within six points with about two minutes left but couldn't stop O'Neal, who scored 15 in the fourth quarter.

Bryant shot just 4-for-16, but he made 10 of 14 free throws and did not seem to be favoring his arm. With his return and the impending return of forward Karl Malone, the bulk of the Lakers roster will be suited up for Friday night's game against Minnesota.

Pistons 98, Bulls 65

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) Chauncey Billups scored 19 points, Rasheed Wallace had 18 and the Detroit Pistons extended their own NBA record by holding an opponent under 70 points for the fourth straight game.

The Pistons are the first team since the shot clock was implemented in 1954-55 to have a streak of more than two games, and have won the four games by an average of 25 points.

Chicago, which played without center Eddy Curry (thigh), lost its fourth in a row and had a season-low point total. Reserve Kendall Gill led the Bulls with 12 points.

Nets 98, Nuggets 97

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) Kenyon Martin scored 28 points and Richard Jefferson added 26, and the New Jersey Nets had Jason Kidd back in the lineup.

Kidd missed four games with a bone bruise of the left knee, and Nets went 2-2 without him. He scored eight points and had 13 assists in 39 minutes.

Carmelo Anthony led the Nuggets with 24 points. Andre Miller had 22 and Nene and Voshon Lenard each had 15.

The Nets seemed to have the game under control when they took a 93-81 lead with 4:15 remaining after five straight points by Jason Collins. But the Nuggets came back with 13-3 run to cut their deficit to two with 1:06 left.

Martin hit a pair of free throws with 35 seconds left for a four-point lead, and all the Nuggets could manage after that was a 3-pointer by Lenard as time expired.

Bucks 94, Hawks 80

MILWAUKEE (AP) Keith Van Horn and Michael Redd each had 23 points as Milwaukee snapped a three-game losing streak.

Van Horn went 13-of-14 from the free throw line and added 11 rebounds and four steals.

Milwaukee led the entire second half. Atlanta got within seven points when Bobby Sura scored to cut the deficit to 83-76 with 4:50 remaining. But the Hawks would score just four more points, and Milwaukee regained control with a 9-1 run over the next three minutes.

Atlanta's Stephen Jackson, who had scored at least 15 points in his previous 23 games, had 11 against Milwaukee on 3-for-12 shooting.

Hornets 95, Heat 84

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Baron Davis had 33 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Hornets scored 42 points at the foul line in a 95-84 victory over Miami on Wednesday night that snapped the Heat's three-game winning streak.

The Hornets, which had lost four of five coming in, opened the fourth quarter with an 10-1 run to take an 82-72 lead. Miami tried to climb back with eight 3-point attempts in the period, but missed them all.

David Wesley scored 19 points for New Orleans, including all 11 of his foul shots as the Hornets tied a franchise record for free throws in a game. Davis was 14-of-14 from the foul line, and the Hornets were 42-of-46 overall.

Spurs 108, Clippers 90

SAN ANTONIO (AP) Malik Rose had 21 points and 12 rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs marked Tim Duncan's return with an easy win.

The game turned lopsided in the first four minutes as the Spurs, using the same uptempo offense they relied for six games while Duncan was sidelined with a leg injury, ran out to a 14-3 lead.

Duncan's contribution to that decisive burst was a single assist. His first basket came on a 21-foot jumper with 10:18 left in the second quarter to make the score 44-18.

Duncan finished with nine points on 4-for-10 shooting and a season-low two rebounds in 15 minutes. He sat out the previous six games after suffering a lower thigh injury Feb. 26 at Dallas. The Spurs went 4-2 without him.
