Nets rule Britannia, beat Raptors again

Travis Outlaw scored the final eight points for New Jersey to help the Nets beat the Toronto Raptors, 137-136, in triple overtime Saturday night and sweep the NBA's European doubleheader in London.

Outlaw made two free throws with 12.6 seconds remaining to put the Nets ahead for good and Andrea Bargnani missed a jumper at the buzzer.

Brook Lopez had 34 points and 14 rebounds for the Nets but fouled out in the second overtime. Deron Williams added 21 points and 18 assists for his fifth straight double-double since joining the team from Utah last week. Outlaw finished with 14 points.

Bargnani led all scorers with 35 points, but also missed a potential game winner with 2 seconds left in the first OT of a game that had exactly the kind of excitement and tight finish that the NBA had hoped for when it decided to bring regular-season games to Europe for the first time. New Jersey won the first game at the O2 Arena in London, 116-103, on Friday. Howard gets suspension

Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard has been suspended for one game without pay for picking up his 16th technical foul of the season. He will serve the suspension Monday when the Magic are home against Portland. The penalty was announced Saturday by NBA executive Stu Jackson. Howard leads the NBA in technicals this season. His latest one came with 1:41 left in the first half Friday night against Chicago. With the Bulls up 43-29, Howard came down with an offensive rebound and was hit on the top of his head by Kyle Korver. Korver was whistled for a foul but took a swipe at the ball moments after the play. That prompted Howard to swing his elbows. The referee separated the players and also called a technical on Howard.
