NBA-Highlights of Sunday's NBA games

Feb 5 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of National Basketball Association games on Sunday: Celtics 107, Clippers 102 The emotion and admiration belonged to Paul Pierce. But the game belonged to his old team, the Boston Celtics, who fired up a club-record 52 3-point attempts in a 107-102 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. Pierce, making one final appearance as a player in Boston, started and played the first 4:57. He knelt and kissed the leprechaun logo at midcourt and then took the first shot of the game. It rimmed in and out and he was gone after less than five minutes, all zeroes except for the missed shot. He re-entered the game with 19.8 seconds left to another major ovation -- and drained a 3-pointer with 11 seconds left, thus avoiding what would have been his first scoreless game ever in the building (630 games). Raptors 103, Nets 95 Despite being ill and receiving four stitches after colliding with a camera attached to a stanchion near a basket, Kyle Lowry recorded his ninth career triple-double with 15 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds as the Toronto Raptors beat the Brooklyn Nets 103-95. Many of Lowry's assists went to Jonas Valanciunas, who led the Raptors with 22 points. Brook Lopez scored 20 points but shot 6 of 17 as Brooklyn dropped its eighth straight game and 12th straight at home. The Nets are two losses away from matching the 2010 franchise record for consecutive home losses. Thunder 105, Trail Blazers 99 Russell Westbrook scored 42 points to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 105-99 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. Westbrook hit 16 of 34 from the field to go along with eight assists and four rebounds. Victor Oladipo added 24 points and 13 boards to help Oklahoma City move to 30-22. (Editing by Andrew Both)
