in the third-highest scoring game of his career. Miles played the
entire first and third quarters.

day-to-day and could play Wednesday.
--C Mehmet Okur is bothered by a strained lower back, which he
aggravated with the 15-hour trip each way back to Turkey. Okur spent a
week by his ailing father's side at an Istanbul hospital and was
unable to work out.
--G Brevin Knight suffered a strained left groin in the fourth
quarter of Monday's game and came out after he struggled to run the
floor on a fast break. Knight is expected to play Wednesday against
Milwaukee.
