Wizards 85, Celtics 78
Washington closed the game with a 15-4 run and the two teams combined for 37 turnovers.  Kevin Garnett scored 19 for Boston, now 30-5.  Congratulations, Wizards!  You ensured that the Celtics wouldn’t set their all time franchise record for best start. Â As a reward, you can  head to Boston Monday night.  Best of luck.

Pistons 103, Bobcats 100
For the 2nd game in a row, Charlotte lost an overtime game with just 8 active players.  Richard Hamilton scored the gamewinner with 16 seconds and Chauncy Billups scored 27 with 4 rebounds and 7 assists.  Emeka Okafor had 19 and 15 for Charlotte.

Jazz 119, Magic 115
The Magic started 20/21 from the free throw line through 3 quarters, and magically (**clever**) faded in the final frame, making just 10 of 20 4th quarter tosses.  M. Okur had 29 and 15 for the Jazz, now 21-17, good for 9th in the Western Conference.

Suns 122, Bucks 114
Steve Nash continued his recovery from the stomach flu with 35 points and 7 assists.  He’s like Jordan!  NASH=MJ!  Andrew Bogut had 29 and 11 for the 15-22 Bucks.
