NBA ROUNDUP Sunday’s games

Thunder 88, Timberwolves 85

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma City Thunder’s first win didn’t come without a little last-second trepidation. Kevin Durant scored 18 points and first-round pick Russell Westbrook sparked a comeback as the Thunder beat the Minnesota Timberwolves for their first victory in their new home. But officials had to huddle after the final buzzer to see if there was a foul before the clock hit zero. Westbrook hit the go-ahead basket with a driving layup that made it 86-85 with 2:19 to play and Oklahoma City stopped Minnesota on its next six possessions to hang on for the win.

Bucks 94, Knicks 86

NEW YORK — Richard Jefferson and Ramon Sessions each scored 18 points, and the Bucks used a strong defensive effort to shake off Michael Redd’s injury and beat the Knicks. Redd added 16 points, before leaving with a sprained right ankle with Milwaukee leading by 16 late in the third quarter. Charlie Villanueva also scored 16, while Andrew Bogut had 13 points and 11 rebounds. Quentin Richardson had 28 points and nine rebounds for the Knicks, making Mike D’Antoni’s offensive system look awful. With Stephon Marbury again inactive, they went scoreless for more than 31‚Ñ2 minutes to start the third quarter and never recovered.
