Two of them have come against the Bobcats, who were the first team to lose to the Nets after their 0-18 start.
Brook Lopez added 16 points before fouling out for the energized Nets (5-48), who snapped an eight-game losing streak, improved to 2-27 on the road and moved ahead of the pace of the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers, who finished an NBA-worst 9-73.
Gerald Wallace had 21 points and 10 rebounds and Boris Diaw had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Bobcats, who allowed the NBA’s worst-shooting and lowest-scoring team to shoot 52 percent.
Thunder 99 Mavericks 86: In Oklahoma City, Kevin Durant had 25 points and 14 rebounds, rookie reserve James Harden added 17 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the new-look Dallas Mavericks to stretch their winning streak to seven games.
Caron Butler scored 13 points and helped Dallas build an early 12-point lead after coming over in a weekend trade from Washington, but he finished 4 for 16 from the field and Oklahoma City charged ahead in the second half.
Dirk Nowitzki scored 24 points, Jason Terry had 14 points and Jason Kidd had 12 points for the Mavericks. Starting center Erick Dampier had 13 rebounds, but headed to the locker room with 2:54 remaining with an open dislocation of the middle finger on his right hand. The team gave no immediate timetable for his return.
Durant extended his streak of games with at least 25 points to 26, but he needed a driving layup with 26.6 seconds left to get there—after coach Scott Brooks had taken three of Oklahoma City’s five starters out of the game.
Heat 105 76ers 78: In Philadelphia, Dwyane Wade scored 24 points and the Miami Heat cruised past the Philadelphia 76ers.
Jermaine O’Neal added 20 points for Miami, which won its third straight.
Philadelphia welcomed back Allen Iverson, who returned after missing five games to help care for his ill daughter, Messiah. Iverson came off the bench and shot 1 for 7 from the field for four points.
Thaddeus Young led the 76ers with 16 points, and Andre Iguodala added 11.
After a 16-2 run in the second quarter helped build an 11-point halftime lead, the Heat took control with a 17-0 third-quarter run that turned the game into a 69-41 rout.
Bulls 118 Knicks 85: In Chicago, Derrick Rose made it look easy despite a bruised right hip, hitting his first nine shots and scoring 29 points to lead the Chicago Bulls over the New York Knicks.
Still sore from a hard foul by Orlando’s Dwight Howard last week, Rose shook it off with a dominant performance as the Bulls matched their most lopsided win of the season and handed the Knicks their fourth straight loss and 13th in 17 games.
Rose buried all seven shots while scoring 15 in the first quarter and was 14 for 18 in all, just missing his sixth 30-point game.
Pistons 108 Timberwolves 85: In Auburn Hills, Michigan, Jonas Jerebko led a balanced offense with 21 points and the Detroit Pistons pulled away in the second half to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Detroit won for the third time in four games, while Minnesota dropped its third in a row. The Timberwolves fell to 4-26 on the road.
The Pistons had five players in double figures and got at least two points from all 12. Kevin Love paced Minnesota with 22 points and 15 rebounds.
Suns 109 Grizzlies 95: In Memphis, Tenn., Jason Richardson scored 27 points, Amare Stoudemire added 21 points and 10 rebounds as the Phoenix Suns won their sixth game in the last seven with a victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.
Richardson was 12 of 17 from the field in the Suns’ fifth straight road victory. Robin Lopez finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Steve Nash had 16 assists for the Suns.
Jazz 104 Rockets 95: In Houston, Deron Williams scored 17 points and dished out 15 assists, Mehmet Okur scored 21 points and the Utah Jazz continued their midseason surge with a win over the Houston Rockets.
Paul Millsap scored 20 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, helping the Jazz win for the 14th time in 16 games. Utah finished with 30 assists to offset 21 turnovers.
Celtics 95 Kings 92: In Sacramento, California, Rasheed Wallace and Paul Pierce each scored 17 points, and the Boston Celtics held off the Sacramento Kings.
The victory snapped a two-game losing streak for the Celtics, who had lost five of eight games before the All-Star break. Boston is 10-13 since Christmas and has seen its Atlantic Division lead shrink to 4 1/2 games over second-place Toronto.
Omri Casspie scored 19 points, Tyreke Evans had 17 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, and Jason Thompson added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Kings, who have dropped 19 of 23 games since Dec. 28.
Ray Allen scored 15 points and Eddie House had 12 for Boston, which made six straight free throws in the final 15.4 seconds to seal the victory.
Trail Blazers 109 Clippers 87: In Portland, Ore., Martell Webster scored 28 points and LaMarcus Aldridge added 22 as the Portland Trail Blazers cruised to a victory over the Los Angeles Clippers a few hours after the teams made a deal Tuesday night.
Portland’s Brandon Roy, who missed 15 games because of a pulled right hamstring, shot 2 of 7 and scored four points in 15 minutes during the first half, but sat out the second half due to a recurrence of the hamstring injury.
Eric Gordon scored 20 points and Rasual Butler 18 for slumping Los Angeles, which lost its fifth consecutive game, and ninth in 10 games.
Earlier Tuesday, Portland and Los Angeles made a three-player trade in which the Blazers acquired 6-foot-11 center Marcus Camby in exchange for guard Steve Blake and forward Travis Outlaw. Camby was averaging 7.7 points and 12 rebounds a game for the Clippers this season. None of the three played.
Lakers 104 Warriors 94: In Los Angeles, Shannon Brown set career highs with 27 points and 10 rebounds while starting in place of the injured Kobe Bryant, and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors.
Andrew Bynum added 21 points and seven rebounds in his return to the lineup after missing two games because of a bruised right hip that still gives him discomfort.
Brown made his third start and had his first career double-double, scoring eight points in the final 1:13 while Bryant sat out his fourth straight game because of a sprained left ankle.
The defending NBA champions have won all four games they’ve played without Bryant, who also was unable to play in the All-Star game.
Anthony Morrow scored 23 points and C.J. Watson added 20 off the bench for the Warriors, who lost to the Lakers for the eighth straight time.
