NBA ROUNDUP Sunday's games



Pacers 97, Clippers 92
LOS ANGELES -- Ron Artest scored 22 points, Jermaine O'Neal had 16 points and 13 rebounds, and the Indiana Pacers beat the Los Angeles Clippers. Elton Brand had 22 points and nine rebounds for the Clippers, who have lost consecutive games for the first time this season after a franchise-best 9-2 start and were beaten at home for the first time. Chris Kaman finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds for Los Angeles. Artest, who missed Friday's 87-85 loss to Atlanta because of a bruised right wrist he injured on a hard foul by Cleveland's LeBron James on Thursday, shot 8-for-19 from the field. Stephen Jackson scored 15 points on 6-for-15 shooting after going 4-for-15 against the Hawks. The Clippers went on a 10-2 run capped by Cuttino Mobley's 11-foot jumper and narrowed the gap to 92-90 with 1:07 to play. But Jamaal Tinsley hit two free throws at the other end, and Austin Croshere grabbed an offensive rebound of Tinsley's missed jumper on the Pacers' next possession. He was fouled and converted both free throws for a 96-92 lead with 4.2 seconds to go.
Trail Blazers 77, Hawks 75
ATLANTA -- Darius Miles scored on a bank shot with 1.3 seconds left, giving Portland a victory and ending Atlanta's two-game winning streak. Hawks rookie Salim Stoudamire missed a last-second jumper following Miles' go-ahead basket over Atlanta's Zaza Pachulia. Zach Randolph led Portland with 24 points, making 12-of-15 shots from the field. Randolph missed two free throws with 1:06 left and the Blazers leading by two, giving the Hawks an opening. Joe Johnson's spinning drive tied the game at 75-75 with 49 seconds left. The Hawks opened the season with nine straight losses.
