Jackson scored 29 points as the Bobcats roared to a 110-93 victory Friday night. Jamison — two days after being acquired from Washington — came off the bench and went 0 for 12 from the field. He was blocked five times and tossed up two air balls, while looking out of sync with his new mates.
The Bobcats had a big run to end the third quarter to beat the Cavaliers for a third straight time and take the series 3-1. Cavaliers star LeBron James had 22 points and nine assists.
Wizards 107, Nuggets 97: Al Thornton scored 21 points in his Washington debut, and Josh Howard added 20 to lead the Wizards over Denver.
Thornton, acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers in the Antawn Jamison deal, and Howard, starting for the first time since being acquired Feb. 13 from Dallas, spearheaded a rally.
Celtics 96, Trail Blazers 76: Ray Allen scored 21 points, including eight straight early in the fourth quarter to stymie a run by host Portland in Boston's victory. Marcus Camby's debut with the Trail Blazers was a dud. New Celtics acquisition Nate Robinson stayed on the East Coast with flu-like symptoms.
Mavericks 95, Magic 85: Dirk Nowitzki scored 23 points, and Dallas beat host Orlando with a strong defensive effort.
Suns 88, Hawks 80: Amare Stoudemire scored 22 points for his ninth straight game over 20 to lead host Phoenix over Atlanta.
76ers 106, Spurs 94: Lou Williams scored 14 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter to fuel a decisive run by the host Philadelphia 76ers over the San Antonio Spurs.
Bucks 91, Pistons 85: John Salmons, playing his first game after being acquired from Chicago, scored 19 points and hit a clinching 3-pointer as Milwaukee beat host Detroit.
Raptors 106, Nets 89: Rasho Nesterovic scored a season-high 16 points for Toronto in replacing Chris Bosh, sidelined with a sprained left ankle.
