Pietrus was a matchup nightmare in the playoffs last season for Cleveland, averaging 13.9 points in the Eastern Conference finals when the Magic beat the Cavs in six games. He made a pair of 3s to open the fourth and Nelson hit his with 2:53 left to put Orlando ahead 96-88.

•Noah, Rose lead Bulls over Raptors: Derrick Rose scored 26 points, Joakim Noah had 18 points, 19 rebounds and seven assists and the visiting Chicago Bulls beat the Toronto Raptors 104-88 to take over eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

Chicago has won eight of 12 since Noah returned from a foot injury that forced him to miss 10 games. The Bulls went 0-10 without him.

Sonny Weems and Andrea Bargnani each scored 18 points for the injury-riddled Raptors, who lost their fifth straight.

•Heat tie for fifth place after win: Dwyane Wade scored 32 points and the Miami Heat pulled into a tie for fifth place in the Eastern Conference with a 111-98 victory over the New York Knicks on the road.

•Warriors rally to beat Thunder: Monta Ellis scored 27 points in his return following a two-week absence, Stephen Curry added 25 and the Golden State Warriors overcame a 20-point deficit to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 120-117 at Oakland, Calif.

The Warriors missed three free throws in the final 53 seconds but held on to win when Kevin Durant’s 3-point attempt with a second left bounced off the back of the rim.

Durant finished with 40 points for Oklahoma City, which dropped into the eighth seed in the Western Conference with two games remaining.

Source: Holmes traded to Jets

NFL: A person familiar with the deal says the New York Jets have acquired wide receiver Santonio Holmes from the Pittsburgh Steelers for a fifth-round draft pick this month.

The person spoke with the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the teams had yet to announce the trade Sunday night.

Holmes, the 2009 Super Bowl MVP, gives quarterback Mark Sanchez another big-time target to throw to in an offense that already had Braylon Edwards, Jerricho Cotchery, promising tight end Dustin Keller and recently signed running back LaDainian Tomlinson.

Holmes has 235 career catches for 3,835 yards and 20 touchdowns, but also brings his share of off-field issues, which could explain the relatively low price the Jets paid to get him.
