Dallas Mavericks 107, NEW ORLEANS PELICANS 90
The Mavericks hammered the battered Pelicans behind 24 points from Dirk Nowitzki and 23 points and eight assists from Monta Ellis. Eric Gordon had a game-high 27 points for New Orleans and Anthony Davis had 21 points, 13 boards and five blocks in a losing effort for a team now missing starters Ryan Anderson and Jrue Holiday.

MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES 119, Charlotte Bobcats 92
No worries about a close game here as the Timberwolves hung 39 points in the second quarter to blow it wide open against the Bobcats. Nikola Pekovic scored 26 points and Kevin Love and Kevin Martin each scored 19 for Minnesota, with Love throwing in 14 rebounds for good measure. Anthony Tolliver was 8-for-9 from the floor for 21 points for Charlotte, but the rest of the club managed to only shoot 29-for-75.
