SCOREBOARD

Today

Cleveland at Portland (9 p.m. CST). LeBron James and the Cavaliers try to bounce back after opening a four-game Western trip with their most lopsided loss of the season, 105-88 to the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night.

STARS

Monday

* Chris Paul, Hornets, capped a 27-point performance with an off-balance 3-pointer as time expired to give New Orleans a 103-100 victory over Indiana

* Greg Oden, Trail Blazers, had a career-high 24 points and added 15 rebounds in Portland's 102-85 win over Milwaukee.

* Allen Iverson, Pistons, scored 27 points to help Detroit end its longest losing streak in five seasons at five games with an 87-79 win over Memphis.

* Yao Ming, Rockets, scored 31 points to help Houston beat Denver 115-113.

* Tim Duncan, Spurs, scored 17 points and blocked Raymond Felton's potential tying shot in the frantic final seconds of San Antonio's 86-84 win over Charlotte.

MARQUEE MATCHUP

Kobe Bryant and LeBron James tussled to a virtual standoff, but Bryant's supporting cast was far more effective in the Lakers' 105-88 win over the Cavaliers. Pau Gasol led Los Angeles with 22 points and 12 rebounds and Andrew Bynum and Sasha Vujacic each scored 14. Bryant had 20 points and 12 assists despite dislocating a finger, while James had 23 points and nine rebounds.

BAD NEWS COMES IN 3s

For the second time in a week, Danny Granger had a big performance trumped by a buzzer-beating shot. On Monday in New Orleans, Chris Paul capped a 27-point performance with a fadeaway 3-pointer as time expired, lifting the hobbled New Orleans Hornets to a 103-100 victory. On Jan. 12 at Golden State, Granger scored 15 of his career high-tying 42 points in a wild fourth quarter, including a 3-pointer that put the Pacers up 117-116 with 23.8 seconds left, but Jamal Crawford hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 11.3 seconds left to give the Warriors a 120-117 lead.

SNAPPED

Allen Iverson scored 27 points to help Detroit end its longest losing streak in five seasons, bringing a five-game skid to an end with an 87-79 win over Memphis.
