Auburn Hills, Mich. — Al Horford’s follow shot with 1.3 seconds left gave the Boston Celtics a 94-92 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night.

Isaiah Thomas had 24 points and eight assists for Boston, while Horford added 18 points and 11 rebounds.

Marcus Morris led Detroit with 24 points and Andre Drummond had 20 points and 17 rebounds. The Pistons became the last NBA team to lose at home.

After Tobias Harris tied the game with a 3-pointer, Jae Crowder missed a baseline 3 and Marcus Smart missed a tip-in, but Horford got to the ball and his tip dropped. Horford then blocked Aron Baynes’ jumper at the buzzer.

Houston — James Harden had 31 points and 10 assists to lead Houston over Utah.

Eric Gordon added 20 points and fellow reserve Nene added a season-high 16 as the Rockets won for the third time in their last four games and improved to 4-1 at home.

The injury-plagued Jazz dropped their third straight game following a 6-2 start to November. Besides Gordon Hayward, the four other Jazz starters had a combined seven years of NBA experience.

New Orleans — Anthony Davis had 38 points and 16 rebounds, Jrue Holiday added 22 points and nine assists, and New Orleans beat Charlotte in overtime for its second straight win.

New Orleans (4-10), which hadn’t won back-to-back games all season, overcame a 14-point, fourth-quarter deficit and found unlikely bench scoring from guard Langston Galloway to keep Charlotte (8-4) from tying its best franchise start through 12 games.

Washington — Goran Dragic scored 22 points, Hassan Whiteside added 18 and 18 rebounds and Miami held on to beat Washington.

James Johnson had 17 points off the bench for Miami, which scored its most points in a game this season and got its first back-to-back wins.

Orlando, Fla. — D.J. Augustin scored 18 points, Serge Ibaka added 15 points and nine rebounds and Orlando beat short-handed Dallas.

In a game that was close throughout, the Magic pulled away late in the fourth quarter. Evan Fournier came through with a 3-pointer and Nikola Vucevic hit two free throws with 1:38 remaining to put it away.

The game was tied eight times and the lead changed six times on the night.

The Mavericks, who were playing without Dirk Nowitzki, Devin Harris and Deron Williams, played efficient at times and was able to hold brief leads. Rookie Jonathan Gibson, who signed as a free agent Friday, led the Mavericks with 26 points. Gibson converted 8 of 16 from the field and 5 of 9 from 3-point range.
