NEW YORK — Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony and three others were thrown out of a foul-filled game, and the Chicago Bulls beat New York for the second time this season, 110-106 Friday.
New York center Tyson Chandler and Bulls counterpart Joakim Noah were tossed after a fourth-quarter altercation, shortly after Knicks coach Mike Woodson had been ejected following his second technical. He drew a loud ovation during his walk to the locker room from fans who angrily booed the officiating for much of the second half.
Luol Deng had season highs of 29 points and 13 rebounds for the Bulls despite briefly leaving the game with an injured left shoulder. Marco Belinelli added 22 points as Chicago won for the fourth time in five games. Anthony finished with 29 points on 10-of-25 shooting, ending his streak of four straight 30-point games. The Knicks lost for the second time in three home games after winning their first 10.
Noah finished with 15 points, 12 rebounds and six assists in completely outplaying Chandler.
76ers 99, Hawks 80: Thaddeus Young had 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Evan Turner scored 21 points to help Philadelphia topped Atlanta.
Jason Richardson scored 17 to help the 76ers snap a five-game losing streak. Jrue Holiday had 11 points after missing four games with a sprained left foot. Josh Smith led the Hawks with 17 points and Lou Williams scored 13.
Bucks 99, Celtics 94, OT: Monta Ellis scored five of his 27 points in overtime, and Milwaukee beat Boston after blowing a seven-point lead late in regulation.
Luc Mbah a Moute scored 20 points, and Larry Sanders had 17 and 20 rebounds for Milwaukee.
Jeff Green scored 14 points, Kevin Garnett had 12, and Courtney Lee added 11 for the Celtics.
Pacers 99, Cavaliers 89: Roy Hibbert scored 18 points, and Lance Stephenson added a season-high 16 to lead Indiana over Cleveland, which lost its sixth straight game.
David West added 15 points and 10 rebounds, and Gerald Green had 14 points — with a ferocious dunk — as the Pacers won for the fifth time in six games.
Kyrie Irving scored 17 points on just 5-of-16 shooting for the Cavs.
Pistons 100, Wizards 68: Greg Monroe had 15 points and nine rebounds, rookie Andre Drummond added a double-double, and Detroit ended a six-game losing streak with a rout.
The Pistons, who never trailed, got 15 points from Brandon Knight and 11 points and a career-high 14 rebounds from Drummond. Detroit hadn't beaten anyone other than the Cavaliers since late November.
Grizzlies 92, Mavericks 82: Rudy Gay scored 26 points, and Zach Randolph had 17 points and 13 rebounds to help Memphis win its fourth straight, topping visiting Dallas.
Marc Gasol added 11 points and 11 rebounds for Memphis. Tony Allen finished with 10 points, but his biggest contribution was on the defensive end, holding former Grizzly O.J. Mayo, the Mavericks' leading scorer, to 10 points on 3-of-11 shooting.
Shawn Marion and Vince Carter led the Mavericks with 14 points apiece, and Marion also had 11 rebounds. Dominique Jones had 13 points and seven assists, and Brandan Wright added 12 points.
Raptors 93, Magic 90: DeMar DeRozan scored 17 points, Jose Calderon had 13 points and nine assists, and Toronto won its fifth straight game, beating Orlando.
Other results: Spurs 99, Hornets 94; Golden State 115, Charlotte 100; LA Clippers 97, Sacramento 85. — Agencies
