Carmelo Anthony Plays Poorly In Return To OKC

Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony spent last year with the Thunder, and on Thursday he had a chance for a revenge game against his former team.

Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He left Wednesday's game after landing awkwardly when coming down for a rebound.
