BOSTON CELTICS 91, Brooklyn Nets 84
The Nets lost despite Boston turning the ball over 28 times, in part because Brooklyn managed to hit bottom on just 4-of-30 3-point attempts as its four-game winning streak was snapped. The Celtics also had a 62-37 edge on the boards and never led by less than seven points in the fourth quarter. Rajon Rondo finished with 20 points and four steals, Jeff Green scored 15 points and Jared Sullinger hauled down 12 rebounds. Joe Johnson scored 21 points for the Nets and Deron Williams added 20.

TORONTO RAPTORS 99, Sacramento Kings 87
The Raptors spoiled Rudy Gay’s first game in Toronto since he was traded to the Kings in December and led by double figures for the entire fourth quarter. Terrence Ross scored 18 points for Toronto and DeMar DeRozan and Patrick Patterson added 15 each. DeMarcus Cousins led Sacramento with 24 points, while Gay scored 15 on 5-of-13 shooting.
