- NEW YORK: Andrew Bogut had 24 points and 20 rebounds in his third career 20-20 game, and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the New York Knicks 83-67 on Monday night for their third straight victory.
Limited to just 5 1/2 minutes at Madison Square Garden three weeks ago because of a migraine, Bogut played 36 this time and overwhelmed the Knicks' smaller front line. He shot 12 of 15 from the field in his first 20-20 game since Dec. 13, 2008, against Indiana, according to STATS, LLC.
John Salmons scored 15 points for the Bucks, who forced the Knicks into their worst offensive performance of the season and completed a three-game sweep of the series.
Tracy McGrady scored 15 points in his second game with the Knicks, but shot only 5 of 14. He wasn't alone in struggling, as the team hit just 33.8 percent from the field in its season-high seventh straight loss.
Wizards 101 Bulls 95: In Washington, Andray Blatche scored 25 points and had 11 rebounds to lead the Washington Wizards over the Chicago Bulls.
Blatche, averaging 25 points in the four games since the trades of Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler, helped Washington to its first three-game home winning streak since April 4-12, 2008. He also made all nine of his free throws.
Washington is 3-1 since the trades, and the Wizards ended Chicago's four-game winning streak.
Early in the third quarter, the Wizards scored 14 straight to take a 62-58 lead, holding Chicago scoreless for 6 minutes, 10 seconds. Blatche, Al Thornton and James Singleton each scored four points in the run.
Derrick Rose scored 22 points to lead the Bulls.
Mavericks 91 Pacers 82: In Dallas, Brendan Haywood tied a career high with 20 rebounds and the Dallas Mavericks improved to 4-0 with him as their starting center in a victory over the Indiana Pacers.
Haywood, who came over from Washington in a Feb. 13 trade, scored 13 points and added three blocks to anchor a defense that was struggling. The Mavericks have held all five opponents since the trade to less than 100 points after the previous eight broke that mark.
Haywood is starting in place of Erick Dampier, who dislocated a finger in the first game with his new backup. Dirk Nowitzki led Dallas with 23 points.
Playing his second straight game in his native Texas, T.J. Ford led the Pacers with 14 points.
Hawks 105 Jazz 100: In Salt Lake City, Joe Johnson scored 28 points and Josh Smith added 18 as the Atlanta Hawks won in Utah for the first time in 17 years, beating the short-handed Jazz.
Johnson scored 11 points in the fourth quarter, including a 3-pointer with 2:28 left that gave the Hawks a lead they wouldn't relinquish.
Jamal Crawford, who had 17 points, followed Johnson's long shot with a steal and two free throws and the Jazz lost for just the third time in 20 games.
Playing without Deron Williams and Andrei Kirilenko, the Jazz stayed close until the final minute, but allowed the Hawks to shoot 54 percent.
The Hawks hadn't won in Utah since Feb. 13, 1993, when Dominique Wilkins scored 43 points to lead Atlanta to a 121-112 victory.
Clippers 98 Bobcats 94: In Los Angeles, Rasual Butler scored 20 points and Chris Kaman had 18 points and 13 rebounds in the Los Angeles Clippers' victory over the Charlotte Bobcats.
The Clippers, coming off a 99-89 win over Sacramento on Saturday improved to 2-5 under interim coach Kim Hughes.
Baron Davis was back in uniform for Los Angeles, getting 10 points and 10 assists after missing two games because of a sore lower back. Drew Gooden and Travis Outlaw both made their debuts for the Clippers after joining them in separate trades with Washington and Houston before last Thursday's deadline. Gooden, the first player off the bench, had 10 points and nine rebounds in 28 minutes.
Gerald Wallace had 32 points and 12 rebounds for the Bobcats.
