PHILADELPHIA – Devin Brown sank two free throws with 0.2 seconds after Philadelphia was brought back from the locker room and the game seemingly over to lift the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 91-90 win over the 76ers on Monday night.

LeBron James scored 27 points, Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 22 . The defending Eastern Conference champs and No. 4 seed Cavaliers get to start their title defense at home against the Washington Wizards. The Cavs and Wizards will play in the first round for the third straight year.

Wizards 117, Pacers 110

WASHINGTON – The Washington Wizards’ backups were more than enough to eliminate the very sub-.500 Indiana Pacers from the playoff race, 117-110.

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. The Wizards, who have won five of six, gave Gilbert Arenas the night off and gave Caron Butler another night to recover from a bruised knee. And the Cavaliers won in Philadelphia to guarantee finishing ahead of Washington in the Eastern Conference.

Raptors 91, Heat 75

TORONTO – Rasho Nesterovic scored 20 points, Chris Bosh had 15 and the Toronto Raptors beat the Miami Heat 91-75.

Anthony Parker had 13 and Jason Kapono scored seven of his 11 points in the fourth quarter as the Raptors moved one step closer to locking up the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference.

Jazz 105, Rockets 96

SALT LAKE CITY – Carlos Boozer scored 21 points and pulled down 11 rebounds as Utah beat Houston 105-96, pulling the Jazz even with the Rockets in the muddled Western Conference standings with one game to go in the regular season. Both teams are 54-27, but by winning two of three against the Rockets the Jazz would hold home-court advantage if they still have identical records after Wednesday and meet in the opening round of the playoffs.

Mehmet Okur added 12 points and 12 rebounds and Deron Williams finished with 17 points and nine assists for the Jazz, who won for the sixth time in seven games and finished their home schedule 37-4. It’s Utah’s best home record since winning 38 games in 1996-97.
