Carmelo Anthony made a jumper with 0.3 seconds left to give the New York Knicks a 110-109 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.

The Knicks blew a 17-point lead and fell behind by one when Jahlil Okafor scored with nine seconds remaining. But Anthony dribbled left after a timeout, pulling up over Robert Covington to cap his 37-point performance.

The Knicks then intercepted the 76ers' inbounds pass to hold on and snap their two-game skid.

Derrick Rose added 18 points and Justin Holiday had 14 for the Knicks, who won for just the third time in 11 games. They played without starters Kristaps Porzingis (sprained right ankle) and Joakim Noah (sore left hamstring).

Bulls 117, Cavaliers 99: Dwyane Wade scored 20 points and Jimmy Butler recorded a triple-double as Chicago beat Cleveland, which played without LeBron James (illness).

Hornets 99, Kings 85: Frank Kaminsky had 23 points and 13 rebounds as Charlotte ended a five-game skid. Marvin Williams added 16 points and Nicolas Batum had 15. Ben McLemore led Sacramento with 18 points and Buddy Hield had 15.

Magic 105, Hawks 86: Terrence Ross scored 24 points, Nikola Vucevic had 16 points and Orlando snapped a two-game skid. Ross played his second game with Orlando after coming over from Toronto in a trade for Serge Ibaka.

Rockets 142, T'wolves 130: James Harden had 24 points and 10 assists to lead Houston to a victory over Minnesota as both teams set scoring highs for the season.

Heat 113, Pacers 95: Hassan Whiteside scored 22 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, Dion Waiters added 22 points and red-hot Miami won for the 16th time in 18 games.
