OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER 112, New York Knicks 100
Kevin Durant had 41 points and just missed a triple-double, outdueling Carmelo Anthony while finishing with 10 rebounds and nine assists. Reggie Jackson added 19 points for the Thunder and Serge Ibaka scored 16. Kendrick Perkins snared 11 rebounds and Thabo Sefolosha nabbed four steals to go with 12 points. Raymond Felton and Amar’e Stoudemire scored 16 points apiece for the Knicks, while Anthony was held to just 15 on 5-of-19 shooting.

Chicago Bulls 92, LOS ANGELES LAKERS 86
The Bulls held off the Lakers after squandering almost all of a 19-point advantage as Joakim Noah played the final 6:53 with five fouls and made a big block on Chris Kaman late. Noah had 20 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks for Chicago, while Taj Gibson scored 18 points, Kirk Hinrich tossed in 17 and D.J. Augustin added 15, including four free throws in the final seconds to seal the deal. Kaman had a season-high 27 points to go with 10 rebounds for the Lakers. Jordan Hill added 15 points and Kendall Marshall notched a double-double with 13 points and 11 assists after Steve Nash left with irritation in his left leg. No Laker starter reached double figures, but the L.A. reserves outscored the Bulls bench 62-19.
