CLEVELAND - LeBron James scored 33 points and barely missed a triple-double as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat Boston for the second time this season, downing the Celtics 114-113.

James added 12 assists, nine rebounds and five steals to pace the Cavaliers, who improved to 15-4 since Dec. 25 and handed the NBA's best road team just its fifth loss away from home. .

LAKERS 105, NETS 90: Pau Gasol was a winner in his Lakers debut, without even much help from Kobe Bryant.

Gasol had 24 points and 12 rebounds, and the Lakers won despite a season-low six points from Bryant, his first single-digit effort in more than a year.

SPURS 116, PACERS 89: Tim Duncan dominated the middle and San Antonio's stingy second-half defense turned a close game into a rout.

Duncan had 19 points and 15 rebounds, and backup guard Jacque Vaughn scored 16 points off the bench.

76ERS 101, WIZARDS 96: Andre Iguodala scored 20 points and Philadelphia stunned the Wizards with a 17-0 run late in the fourth quarter that lifted the 76ers.

The Sixers trailed by 12 early in the fourth and showed few signs of taking off on such a decisive spurt. Then the Wizards got sloppy, missed nearly every shot and the scrappy Sixers capitalized with the comeback.

BUCKS 102, GRIZZLIES 97: Mo Williams scored 32 points and led a fourth quarter rally to help Milwaukee snap a three-game losing streak.

Williams, who was 14-of-22 from the field, scored all 10 Milwaukee points as the Bucks overcame a five-point deficit in the final 2 minutes.

Shaq On Trading Block; Phoenix Interested

MIAMI - Shaquille O'Neal is prepared for the Miami Heat to trade him, a confidant of the 14-time All-Star center told The Associated Press on Tuesday night.

O'Neal's associate, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to reveal anything publicly, indicated a move could be imminent.

"Shaq thinks something will happen," the associate said.

The Miami Herald reported that the Heat are in "serious and ongoing" trade negotiations with the Phoenix Suns.
