NBA roundup
Devin Brown sank 2 free throws with 0.2 seconds left after Philadelphia was brought back from the locker room and the game seemingly over, lifting the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 91-90 win over the host 76ers on Monday night.
The Sixers appeared to have won after Lou Williams hit a fadeaway jumper with 5.1 seconds left, his second go-ahead basket in the final minute.
Instead, Brown was fouled by Samuel Dalembert with only a couple of ticks left. The Sixers thought the game was over and ran off the court, while the refs huddled at midcourt to look at the replay. The Cavaliers stayed on the bench, with some peeking over and hoping to hear the decision.
After the play was reviewed for a few minutes, Dalembert was hit with his sixth foul. The Sixers had to come back and watch Brown stun them for the controversial win.
Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks argued with the refs, and guard Andre Miller punted the ball in frustration.
LeBron James scored 27 points, Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 22, and the Cavaliers clinched homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs against Washington.
Wizards 117, Pacers 110: Washington's backups were more than enough to eliminate the very sub-.500 Pacers from the playoff race.
Coach Eddie Jordan went to his bench early and often, getting 31 points from Roger Mason, 14 from rookie Nick Young and little resistance from the Pacers' defense in the host Wizards' victory.
Celtics 99, Knicks 93: With his three all-star teammates resting, Rajon Rondo had 23 points and 10 rebounds for Boston in what may have been Isiah Thomas' final home game as New York coach. Boston improved to 65-16 despite giving Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen the night off. Sam Cassell added 22 points for the Celtics, who learned during the game they will face the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the playoffs.
Raptors 91, Heat 75: Rasho Nesterovic scored 20 points Chris Bosh 15 to lead host Toronto past Miami. Anthony Parker had 13 and Jason Kapono scored 7 of his 11 points in the fourth quarter as the Raptors locked up the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference and a first-round matchup with Orlando. Nesterovic was 10-for-19 from the field, scoring double figures for the 17th consecutive game.
