Deron Williams got the better of Derrick Rose, finishing with 28 points and a season-high 17 assists, while CJ Miles scored a season-best 26 points to lead the visiting Utah Jazz to a 132-108 victory over the Chicago Bulls.

Williams threw down a hard dunk on Rose during a 13-1 run late in the third quarter that broke a 77-all tie and sent Utah to its 22nd win in 27 games. Miles scored 18 in the fourth, hitting four of his six 3-pointers, as the Jazz outscored Chicago 40-27 and secured at least a .500 record for the 26th time in 27 years.

With 25 points and 13 assists, Rose didn't exactly get dominated in a matchup of star point guards. But the Bulls tied a season high with their fifth straight loss even though Brad Miller scored 20.

Lakers 109, Raptors 107: Kobe Bryant hit a 17-foot fallaway jumper with 1.9 seconds left, and host Los Angeles rallied in the fourth quarter to snap its three-game losing streak with a victory over Toronto.

Bucks 86, Celtics 84: Andrew Bogut had 25 points and 17 rebounds, and Milwaukee rallied past visiting Boston.

Magic 113, Clippers 87: Dwight Howard had 22 points and 15 rebounds, and host Orlando rolled past Los Angeles to tie a season high with its sixth straight victory.

Rockets 96, Wizards 88: Luis Scola had 23 points and 10 rebounds, Kevin Martin scored 21 points, and Houston moved back above .500 with a win at Washington.

Pacers 107, 76ers 96: At Indianapolis, Dahntay Jones scored 25 points, leading Indiana past Philadelphia.

Bobcats 83, Heat 78: Stephen Jackson scored 17 points, Raymond Felton added 15 points and 11 assists, and Charlotte used a fourth-quarter comeback to beat visiting Miami and reach .500.

Trail Blazers 88, Kings 81: Brandon Roy scored 19 points and hit a clinching jumper with just over two minutes left, leading Portland past visiting Sacramento.
