EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Rookie Brook Lopez scored a career-high 31 points and pulled down 13 rebounds to lead the New Jersey Nets to a 103-99 overtime victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday.

Vince Carter had 21 for the Nets, and Devin Harris, back after missing three of the previous four games with a hamstring injury, had 17. Keyon Dooling had 14, most coming early in the fourth quarter as the Nets earned a fourth straight home win after starting the season 5-12 in New Jersey.

Kevin Durant had 26 points for the Thunder, which fell to 6-33 overall and 2-17 on the road.

● Knicks 101, Hornets 95: In New Orleans, David Lee scored 24 points, and New York ended a three-game losing streak.

Quentin Richardson and Al Harrington each hit three-pointers in the final 1:14 to ensure the Knicks withstood a furious Hornets rally that trimmed a 14-point lead to three late in the game.

Harrington finished with 20 points, and Wilson Chandler scored 19, hitting a jumper with 2:07 left and a driving layup soon after to help keep the Hornets at bay.

David West had 25 points and 14 rebounds for the Hornets, but he was 6 of 20 from the field. Chris Paul added 23 points for New Orleans.

● Celtics 115, Raptors 109: In Boston, Paul Pierce scored nine of his season-high 39 points in overtime, and Boston beat Toronto for the second consecutive night.

One day after Ray Allen's 36 points led Boston to a 94-88 win in Toronto, Pierce led a comeback from a 10-point deficit midway through the third quarter and carried the Celtics to their second straight win after they had lost four straight.

Pierce also had nine rebounds, and Kevin Garnett added 20 points and 12 rebounds.

● Jazz 120, Pacers 113: In Salt Lake City, Mehmet Okur scored a career-high 43 points, and Utah held off a late rally by Indiana.

Andrei Kirilenko scored 23 points and pulled down 12 rebounds, and Deron Williams added 11 assists and 23 points, including a late three-pointer to help the Jazz finally put away the Pacers.

● Bucks 97, Wizards 91: In Washington, Michael Redd scored 29 points, Andrew Bogut added 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Washington blew another fourth-quarter lead.

Trading baskets down the stretch with Wizards guard Nick Young — who scored a career-high 30 — Redd helped Milwaukee overcome a deficit that was 13 points in the second quarter, 11 at halftime and five entering the final period.

● Trail Blazers 109, Bulls 95: In Chicago, Travis Outlaw had a season-high 33 points, and Greg Oden had 17 points and 13 rebounds for Portland.

Outlaw finished three points off his career high and tied a career high by hitting 4 of 5 three-point attempts, making one at the end of the first half to cap an 11-2 run that gave Portland a 49-45 lead.

Steve Blake finished with 16 points and 10 assists for the Blazers.
