AUBURN HILLS, Michigan (AP):

LaMarcus Aldridge scored 27 points and Greg Oden had a career-high 13 rebounds to help the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Detroit Pistons 96-85 on Sunday.

Brandon Roy scored 19 points and Oden finished with 10 for Portland, which have won four straight. The Pistons fell to just 6-6 since Allen Iverson joined the team. Richard Hamilton had 18 for Detroit, who are 0-4 on Sundays and 10-2 during the rest of the week.

At Los Angeles, Pau Gasol had 24 points and nine rebounds, Kobe Bryant had 23 points and seven assists before sitting out the fourth quarter and Los Angeles beat Toronto Raptors 112-99 to improve their league-best record to 14-1.

Bryant came 15 points shy of reaching the 22,000-point mark faster than any other player. Had he done it, he would have beaten Wilt Chamberlain to that total by one day, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Bryant was the fastest to 12,000 and every level up to 20,000. The two-time scoring champion and 10-time All-Star was the second-fastest to 21,000.

Anthony Parker led Toronto with 19 points and five teammates also scored in double figures. Jermaine O'Neal missed his third straight game because of a sprained left ankle.

Devin Harris scored a career-high 47 points, including 21 in the fourth quarter, and New Jersey rallied to end its 14-game losing streak by winning 117-109 at Phoenix Suns.

The Nets had not won at US Airways Center since their first visit in 1993, but they used a late run to overcome the Suns.

Second road victory

With Harris becoming the second player in two games to score more than 40 against the Suns - Miami's Dwyane Wade had 43 Friday night - the Nets scored their second road victory in two nights, after beating Utah on Saturday.

At Denver, Carmelo Anthony's double-figure scoring streak ended after he left with an injury, but Chauncey Billups scored 28 points, including 11 in a 19-7 third-quarter run Denver NUggets used to break away from Houston Rockets and win 104-94.

The Nuggets lost their leader when Anthony took a seat in the second quarter after aggravating a sore right elbow that's been bothering him for two weeks. Anthony scored just two points, halting his NBA-best streak of consecutive games in double figures at 221.

He had not been held below 10 points since November 28, 2005, when he played just 11/2 minutes against New Jersey before leaving with a sprained ankle after scoring two points.

Yao Ming scored 18 points for Houston, which played their third straight game without the injured Tracy McGrady.

At Philadelphia, Ben Gordon scored 21 points, Drew Gooden had 20 points and 12 rebounds and Chicago Bulls rallied from an early deficit to beat the hosts 103-92.

Derrick Rose, the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, contributed 18 points and 10 assists.

Reserve Larry Hughes had 16 points for the Bulls (8-9) in the final stop on a seven-game, 12-day road trip which began November 18 in Los Angeles against the Lakers.

All three of Chicago's road wins came on the trip.

Elton Brand had 21 points and 12 rebounds and Thaddeus Young added 17 points for the reeling Sixers, who have lost four straight to fall to 7-10. André Miller had 15 points and 10 assists and Willie Green chipped in with 12 points.
