NEW YORK (AP) — Dennis Schroder and Dorian Finney-Smith each scored 20 points and the Brooklyn Nets beat the Philadelphia 76ers 112-107 on Tuesday.
Lonnie Walker IV added 19 points and Nic Claxton had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Nets, who bounced back quickly after a poor performance Monday in a 106-102 home loss to Memphis. They took advantage of a short-handed Philadelphia team that was missing both its All-Stars in Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid. Maxey was scratched early Tuesday because of a concussion.
Kelly Oubre Jr. scored a season-high 30 points for the 76ers, who had won two straight. Tobias Harris added 18.
CAVALIERS 105, CELTICS 104
CLEVELAND (AP) — Dean Wade made five 3-pointers and scored 20 points in the fourth quarter, and Cleveland won a replay review in the final second to stun Boston, ending the NBA-leading Celtics’ winning streak at 11 games.
The Cavs overcame a 22-point deficit in the fourth quarter without All-Star Donovan Mitchell, who missed the game with a knee injury, as well as forward Evan Mobley, who went out with a sprained ankle in the third.
Wade finished with a career-high 23 points and his putback dunk with 19.1 seconds left put the Cavs ahead 105-104.
Darius Garland was called for a foul on Boston's Jayson Tatum with 0.7 seconds left, but the Cavs challenged and officials overturned the call, ruling that Tatum had initiated the contact.
Tatum scored 26 points and Kristaps Porzingis had 24 for Boston, which lost for the first time since Feb. 1.

The Pelicans made 24 of 49 attempts from 3-point range.
