Jamal Crawford's 29 points ensured the Atlanta Hawks avoided a three-game losing streak as they topped the Washington Wizards 105-99.
In the make-up of a game postponed back in February due to heavy snow in the capital, Joe Johnson and Al Horford each added 18 points each for the Hawks.
The Orlando Magic recorded their seventh straight win as they took advantage of the Chicago Bulls' mounting injury problems in a 111-82 rout.
Vince Carter had 23 points and Matt Barnes added 14.
The Bulls were already short-handed coming in, and things got worse when they lost All-Star point guard Derrick Rose to a twisted ankle in the first quarter.
Brandon Roy poured in 41 points as the Portland Trail Blazers exploded in the final period to rally and beat the Golden State Warrors 110-105.
The Trail Blazers outscored their hosts 27-9 down the stretch to erase a 13-point deficit.
Andre Miller added 15 points off the bench and LaMarcus Aldridge had 14.
