Bogut lifts Bucks in overtime

With 19 points and 14 rebounds, top draft pick Andrew Bogut had already played perhaps his best game as a pro. A blocked shot to win the game sealed it.

Bogut made two free throws late in overtime, then blocked Jason Terry’s potential game-tying shot at the buzzer to lift the Milwaukee Bucks over the Dallas Mavericks 113-111 Tuesday night.

“Just seeing Terry running at me full speed, I was thinking about taking the charge,” Bogut said. “Then he slowed up. I don’t know what I was trying to do, but I just got a hand up there.”

Terry still had 37 points for Dallas, but wanted back his final attempt, a running 10-footer to the right of the lane.

“I should have pulled up for the 3, on the road,” said Terry, who also missed a shot at the buzzer in regulation that would have won it. T.J. Ford had a career-high 24 points, including a key 3-pointer with 31 seconds remaining for Milwaukee, which was playing without leading scorer Michael Redd. Bobby Simmons led the Bucks with 26 points.

Milwaukee outrebounded Dallas 46-37.

76ers 107, Trail Blazers 83: At Philadelphia, Allen Iverson scored 38 points and Chris Webber had 16 points and 15 rebounds, leading Philadelphia over Portland.

Kyle Korver added 16 points for the Atlantic Division-leading Sixers. Philadelphia had lost four of its previous five games after winning six in a row.

Clippers 93, Timberwolves 84: At Minneapolis, Sam Cassell shook off flu-like symptoms to hit a big 3-pointer down the stretch, staving off a furious rally by his former team and lifting Los Angeles over Minnesota.

After trailing by 16, the Timberwolves twice cut the gap to two points down the stretch before Cassell hit his 3-pointer from the left elbow with 2:45 to play, giving the Clippers a five-point lead that was too much for Minnesota to overcome.

Spurs 90, Lakers 84: At San Antonio, Tim Duncan, quiet on offense through three quarters, made three free throws in the final 15 seconds to help San Antonio hold on for a victory over Los Angeles.

The win was the Spurs’ sixth straight over the Lakers, who played their first game in San Antonio under coach Phil Jackson since a victory over the Spurs in Game 5 of the 2004 Western Conference semifinals on a last-second basket by Derek Fisher.

Kings 110, Bobcats 92: At Sacramento, Calif., Mike Bibby scored 25 points and Sacramento reached the .500 mark for the first time this season by beating Charlotte for its third straight victory.

Bulls 85, Magic 76: At Chicago, Kirk Hinrich scored 20 points and tied a career high with 14 assists to lead Chicago over Orlando.

Rockets 100, Hawks 85: Sidelined since Nov. 18 with a back injury, Tracy McGrady returned to score 25 points and host Houston snapped a seven-game losing streak with a win over Atlanta.

Pacers 84, Jazz 60: At Salt Lake City, Jermaine O’Neal got his fifth double-double in the last six games with 21 points and 15 rebounds, and Indiana increased its winning streak over Utah to six.
