NBA Capsules: Raptors win meaningless

Raptors 131, Knicks 113TORONTO -- DeMar DeRozan scored a career-high 24 points and Andrea Bargnani also scored 24 for Toronto, which owned the tiebreaker with Chicago and would have earned the No. 8 seed had the teams finished with the same record.Amir Johnson scored 21 points, Sonny Weems had 18, Jose Calderon had 15 and Marco Belinelli 14 for the Raptors. Toronto's 131 points were a season high.Thunder 114, Grizzlies 105OKLAHOMA CITY -- Kevin Durant scored 31 points to finish the season as the youngest scoring champion in NBA history, and Oklahoma City survived a sloppy second half.The 21-year-old Durant finished with an average of 30.1 points, 0.4 ahead of LeBron James, and supplanted 22-year-old Max Zaslofsky of the 1947-48 Chicago Stags as the youngest scoring champ in NBA history.The Thunder let most of a 27-point lead dwindle away before closing out their 50th win of the season. They will meet the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers in the first round.Rudy Gay scored 25 points and Zach Randolph had 21 points and 11 rebounds for his 57th double-double of the season as the Grizzlies lost for the ninth time in their final 11 games.Mavericks 96, Spurs 89DALLAS -- Jason Kidd and Jason Terry led a 16-2 run at the end of the first quarter, putting the Dallas Mavericks ahead for good and setting up a first-round playoff matchup between these teams.Dallas clinched the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference and San Antonio the seventh.Before tipoff, Mavs owner Mark Cuban jokingly said this season finale was "Game Minus-1" of that series -- and that was before the Spurs helped ensure the matchup by giving Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili the night off. Both were on the initial lineup turned in by coach Gregg Popovich, but neither ended up even sitting on the bench.Celtics 106, Bucks 95BOSTON -- Jerry Stackhouse and Luke Ridnour scored 17 points apiece, and the Milwaukee Bucks won their regular-season finale as Boston rested its Big Three in preparation for the playoffs.With Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen sitting out to avoid possible injury, the lack of defense and excitement had spectators moving toward the exits midway through the fourth quarter.Rajon Rondo had 21 points and 15 assists for the Celtics, who lost for the seventh time in 10 games.Magic 125, 76ers 111ORLANDO, Fla. -- Jameer Nelson had 21 points, Vince Carter scored 17 and Orlando broke the single-season record for 3-pointers made in a season.Dwight Howard added 15 points and 12 rebounds to help the Magic finish with 841 from beyond the arc and the NBA's second-best record.Marreese Speights' 23 points capped a sorry Sixers season and perhaps the last game in Eddie Jordan's tenure as coach. The Sixers ended with a 27-55 record and have nothing but an offseason of big decisions ahead.Hawks 99, Cavaliers 83ATLANTA -- In what turned out to be nothing more than an exhibition game, rookie Jeff Teague set career highs with 24 points and 15 assists as Atlanta cruised past the LeBron James-less Cavaliers.James finished up his end-of-the-season break, and the Cavaliers also gave Shaquille O'Neal the night off even though he hasn't played since going out Feb. 25 with a sprained right thumb. At the other end of the court, Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford watched in street clothes; the Hawks played only one regular starter, Marvin Williams.Both teams were already locked into their playoff seedings.Heat 94, Nets 86, 2OTMIAMI -- Michael Beasley had 25 points and 13 rebounds, Mario Chalmers scored 15 points and Miami wrapped up the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference.The Nets became just the fifth team in NBA history to lose 70 games.Dorell Wright and James Jones each added 11 points for Miami, which played without Dwyane Wade, Udonis Haslem and Jermaine O'Neal. The Heat finished 47-35 and will meet Boston in the first round.Yi Jianlian scored 23 points and pulled down 15 rebounds for New Jersey (12-70), which erased a 12-point deficit in the final 6:48 of regulation.Wizards 98, Pacers 97WASHINGTON -- Andray Blatche scored 26 points as Washington beat Indiana in a season-ending game for a pair of lottery-bound teams.Rookie Cedric Jackson made a 3-pointer with 1:31 to play to give the Wizards the lead, and the scoreboard didn't budge the rest of the way. Danny Granger missed a 15-footer at the buzzer that would have given the Pacers the win.Jackson, who has spent the season living off 10-day contracts with three different teams, scored all of his career-high eight points in the final 5Ãâ#128;šÃ#130;circ;frac12; minutes for the Wizards.Roy Hibbert scored a career-high 29 points for the Pacers, who finished the season out of the playoffs with a win total in the 30s for the fourth straight year.Pistons 103, Timberwolves 98MINNEAPOLIS -- Charlie Villanueva scored 13 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter to rally Detroit past Minnesota.Tayshaun Prince added 20 points for the Pistons, who trailed by 16 points in the third quarter. With Ben Gordon, Richard Hamilton, Rodney Stuckey and Chris Wilcox not in uniform, Villanueva hit three 3-pointers and five free throws in the final period to end a tough season on a high note.Corey Brewer had 27 points and Al Jefferson had 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Timberwolves (15-67), who lost 29 of their final 31 games of the season to tie the franchise record for fewest victories in a season.Hornets 123, Rockets 115HOUSTON -- David West had 35 points and 10 rebounds, and rookie Darren Collison added 26 points and 11 assists to lead New Orleans.Marcus Thornton scored 20 points for the Hornets, who won for the second time in their final 14 road games. New Orleans won for just the sixth time in its last 23 games overall, and will sit out the playoffs for the first time in three years.Trevor Ariza recorded his first career triple-double -- 26 points, 10 rebounds and a career-high 10 assists -- for the Rockets, who will miss the playoffs with a winning record (42-40) for the fourth time.
