STREAKS

Washington fell to 0-13 against the Southeast Division, just three games away from becoming the first NBA team to go winless within its division, with a 98-89 loss to Atlanta. ... The Hawks last swept the Wizards in 1997-98, also going 4-0. ... New Orleans won its fifth in a row, 98-91 at Philadelphia.

STATS

With Caron Butler out (hamstring), the Wizards used their 13th different starting lineup this season in a 98-89 loss to Atlanta. ... Tim Duncan had 18 points in San Antonio's 106-78 win over the Clippers and the 11-time All-Star needs 18 more to overtake Scottie Pippen for 44th place on the career scoring list.

SCORING

When Cleveland's LeBron James scored 42 points and Miami's Dwyane Wade had 41, it was the second time James and Wade have each had 40-plus in the same game: James had 47 and Wade 44 on April 1, 2006, when Cleveland won at home over Miami 106-99.

STRONG IN DEFEAT

Dwayne Wade had 41 points, nine assists, seven rebounds and seven steals, but that wasn't enough in Miami's 107-100 loss to the Cavaliers. ... Andre Iguodala scored a season-high 30 points and Andre Miller had 28 for Philadelphia in a 98-91 loss to New Orleans.

SIDELINED

Mavericks forward Josh Howard aggravated his problematic left ankle and left a 96-87 loss at Oklahoma City. Howard missed 11 games earlier this season with the injury and wound up wearing a walking boot to help his recovery. The Thunder were without leading scorers Kevin Durant and Jeff Green. Durant had already missed the Thunder's last game with a sprained right ankle and was joined on the sidelines by Green, who started having back spasms Monday. ... Caron Butler was scratched from Washington's lineup against Atlanta with tightness in his left hamstring. ... Zach Randolph was not with the Clippers, having flown to Indianapolis to be with his seriously ill father.

SUSPENDED

The Denver Nuggets suspended Carmelo Anthony for one game for an "in-game transgression" Sunday against Indiana. Anthony won't play in the Nuggets' game Tuesday night at Detroit.

SPEAKING

"I just thought that the first three quarters were just a pitiful display for a team that has aspirations to be in the playoffs and try to move up in the standings. We've seen this before, too many times. We (mess) around for two to three quarters and then we want Jason Kidd to bail us out with steals and hustle plays and fast-break opportunities. It's just too much to ask." - Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle after Dallas' 96-87 loss to undermanned Oklahoma City.
