DERRICK Rose spent another game on the injury list and Australian Matthew Dellavedova was on court again in a huge day of NBA action.

Noah was ill.

The Thunder began the game with eight active players and finished with six. Forward Perry Jones departed with an apparent right knee injury early in the second half, and guard Sebastian Telfair was ejected for a flagrant-two foul with 1:57 left after he struck Hansbrough in the face.

Brandon Knight sunk Indiana with a crucial jump shot late in the game.

BUCKS 87, PACERS 81

Milwaukee led 43-38 at the half and opened the third quarter with a 10-0 run. The Bucks led by as many as 17.

Chris Copeland scored 10 of his 19 points in the third quarter to help Indiana close to 69-61. He added one of his four three-pointers with less than a minute to play, but Knight knocked down a 21-footer to help Milwaukee hold on.

Iman Shumpert scored 19 points for the Knicks (2-2), who had won their last two games. Carmelo Anthony had 18 points on eight-of-23 shooting.

The Wizards outscored the Knicks 32-15 in the third. They swept the series last season and haven’t lost to New York since April 9, 2013.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis’ run of big performances continued for New Orleans, who got their first win of the season.

The Cavaliers, playing the first of a three-game Western Conference road swing, hadn’t played since a 114-108 overtime victory at Chicago on Friday. They started fast but were doomed by poor-shooting nights by James (4 of 12) and Kyrie Irving (3 of 17).

Isaiah Thomas scored 22 points in a reserve role for the Suns, who survived a fourth-quarter surge led by Bryant to beat the Lakers for the second time in seven days.

Bryant went 14 for 37 for the Lakers, who are off to their first 0-5 start since the 1957-58 Minneapolis Lakers lost their first seven games.
