Pacers edge Thunder
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 22 - 11 - 2016

Indiana"s Jeff Teague scored 30 points, eight of them in over-time, to lead six double-figure scorers who powered the Pacers over Oklahoma City 115-111 in an NBA game Sunday.
Russell Westbrook, who had game highs of 31 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds in a losing cause, sank a 3-pointer with two seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to pull the Thunder level at 103-103 and send the game into over-time.
But Teague sank a 3-point shot, converted a 3-point play and sank two free throws to create the final score as the visiting Pacers improved to 7-7 while Oklahoma City fell to 8-6.
"Just wasn"t ready," Westbrook said."I could have done a lot of things better. I have to come out and be ready to play every night. I feel like I let my guys down and we have to be better."
Thaddeus Young had 20 points and 11 rebounds for the Pacers, while Glenn Robinson III had 16 points and 11 rebounds for Indiana, which kept Paul George out of the lineup due to a sore left ankle. George leads the Pacers with 21.0 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.7 steals a game.
"We have guys that are capable of playing at a high level," Teague said."They stepped up tonight. We"ve got confidence in everybody on the roster. It showed."
Bulls 118, Lakers 110: With Dwyane Wade taking the night off, Jimmy Butler carried the Chicago Bulls to victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Butler scored 40 points on 14-of-23 shooting, including 12 points in the third quarter as the Bulls took control.
The win gave the Bulls (9-5) a split of their back-to-back weekend in Los Angeles (they lost to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night) and a 3-1 start to their six-game road trip.
The Lakers fell back to .500 (7-7) with back-to-back losses.
Kings 102, Raptors 99: Rudy Gay scored 23 points, the final four on a pair of dunks off turnovers, and referees nullified a potential game-tying 3-pointer by Terrence Ross to give the Sacramento Kings a home win over the Toronto Raptors. Ross appeared to tie it up with a 30-foot prayer on the buzzer, but officials ruled time had expired after a replay appeared to show that an inbounds pass before the shot had been deflected.
Trail Blazers 129, Nets 109: CJ McCollum scored 33 points as Portland clamped down defensively in the third quarter and snapped a three-game losing streak with a victory over Brooklyn.
Evan Turner added 19 for Portland while Damian Lillard contributed 18 as the Trail Blazers shot a season-best 57.6 percent and made a season high 15 3-pointers.
Nuggets 105, Jazz 91: Jusuf Nurkic had 16 points and 11 rebounds, Wilson Chandler scored 17 points off the bench, and Denver beat Utah. Rookie Jamal Murray scored 16 of his team-high 18 points in the fourth quarter for the Nuggets (5-8), who won despite missing 17 free throws.
Knicks 104, Hawks 94: Carmelo Anthony poured in 31 points, and Kristaps Porzingis contributed 19 points and 11 rebounds as the New York Knicks beat Atlanta.
