Thursday's results were led by Miami's shootout win over Brooklyn and Chicago's rout of Milwaukee. The injury wire's biggest items are Oklahoma City's Otega Oweh, out with a right Achilles injury, and the Clippers' Bradley Beal, downgraded to out with a knee issue. The schedule is light tonight, headlined by Thunder-Rockets on NBA TV.
