The Associated Press NeW YorK » Carmelo An- thony scored 34 points and the New York Knicks opened the Phil Jackson era by beating the Indiana Pac - ers 92-86 Wednesday night for their season-high sev- enth straight victory. With their new team president watching from a midcourt seat, the Knicks dominated the first half, then pulled away after the Eastern Conference leaders finally got untracked in the second half. Lance Stephenson had 21 points and nine rebounds for the Pacers, who had their four-game winning streak snapped and failed to extend their three-game lead over the Miami Heat, who lost to Boston earlier Wednesday. BULLS 102, 76erS 94 » D.J Augustin scored 20 points, Taj Gibson had 19 points and 13 rebounds, and Chi - cago handed Philadelphia its 22nd straight loss. The Sixers are four losses shy of matching the NBA re - cord for longest-single sea- son losing streak. The Cleveland Cavaliers set the record of 26 con- secutive losses in the 2010- 11 season. The Vancouver Grizzlies (1995-96), Denver Nuggets (1997-98) and Char - lotte Bobcats (2011-12) each lost 23 straight. CeLTICS 101, HeaT 96 » Rajon Rondo hit two running base- line shots in the last two minutes and Boston capital- ized on the absence of LeB- ron James to beat Miami. One night after scoring 43 points in a 100-96 win over the Cleveland Cav - aliers, James sat out the game with back spasms and the Heat lost for the first time in their three games without him this season. NeTS 104, BoBCaTS 99 » Deron Williams scored 23 points, Joe Johnson added 20 and Brooklyn overcame a late deficit to win its 10th straight at home.

The Mustangs (14-19) were 0-3 and 4-9 early be- fore losing nine of 11 heading into the Big West Confer- ence tournament — which they won to earn the pro- gram's first NCAA bid. The team with the worst record in the tournament now moves on to face the one with the best — top- seeded Wichita State (34- 0) — in the second round in St. Louis on Friday.
