Last night

The Bucks won at Oklahoma City, topping the Thunder 128-126 in the night's most notable result. Indiana handled Minnesota at home, 123-112. Chicago beat Phoenix at home, 124-117, and Portland held off Golden State at home, 123-118. Orlando won on the road at Memphis, 122-118. Home teams took three of the five games, but the loss that stands out is Oklahoma City's: the Thunder fell by two points in their own building.
