NEW YORK: Playing without fallen guard Derrick Rose the Chicago Bulls could not keep up with the relentless Clippers in a 121-82 blowout defeat.

Blake Griffin (15 points, 12 rebounds) and Chris Paul (16 points, 17 assists) were two of six Los Angeles players in double figure scoring as they led by as much as 40 during the rout.

The Clippers improved to 10-5 while the Bulls (6-6) lost their third straight and again face uncertainty without their leader.

Rose suffered a torn medial meniscus in his right knee on Friday and the Chicago Bulls star is out for the remainder of the season.

The team said that Rose had successful surgery Monday morning in Chicago to repair a torn medial meniscus in his right knee. The 2011 NBA MVP missed all of last season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in Chicago's 2012 playoff opener against Philadelphia. He has played in just 50 NBA games — 49 in the regular season and that lone playoff game — since the Bulls' run to the Eastern Conference finals during his MVP season.

The latest injury occurred in the third quarter against the Trail Blazers.

He lost his footing while trying to change direction to get back on defense when Nicolas Batum stole a pass from Joakim Noah and started the other way. Rose limped across the court and couldn't put any weight on his knee.

Thunder 95 Jazz 73: Serge Ibaka scored 17 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to help the Oklahoma City Thunder defeat the Utah Jazz.

Kevin Durant added 19 points on 3-of-9 shooting to go along with nine rebounds. For the Thunder (9-4).

The Jazz (1-14) were on pace to set a season low in points until guard Alec Burks hit a free throw with 8.9 seconds left in the game to match the 73 points it scored Nov. 8 against Chicago.

Suns 104 Magic 96: Goran Dragic had 23 points and 13 assists, leading the fast-breaking Phoenix Suns to a victory over the Orlando Magic.

The Suns (7-6) got 20 points from guard Gerald Green, who started in place of Eric Bledsoe, and 16 points from reserve forward Marcus Morris.

The Magic (4-9) were led by center Nikola Vucevic with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Forward Andrew Nicholson added 19 points.

Pistons 109 Nets 97: Another second-half meltdown from the Brooklyn Nets sealed their fifth straight loss.

A second quarter that helped the Nets build a lead as large as 10 was quickly overshadowed as Brooklyn (3-10) was outscored 34-15 in the third.

Rodney Stuckey helped seal the Pistons (5-8) win, scoring 17 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter.

Nets guard Joe Johnson led all scorers with 34 points on 11-of-15 shooting but Brooklyn played without injured players Andrei Kirilenko, Brook Lopez, Deron Williams and Jason Terry.

Lakers 100 Kings 86: Forward Xavier Henry came off the bench to score 21 points, guiding the Los Angeles Lakers to a victory over the Sacramento Kings.

Pau Gasol scored 14 of his 20 points in the first half and grabbed 10 rebounds as the Lakers (7-7) won their third in a row - a first this season - and sent the Kings (4-9) reeling to their second loss in as many days and their fourth in the last six games.

Point guard Greivis Vasquez led Sacramento with 20 points and seven assists.

Bryant signs two-year extension with Lakers

Meantime, future Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant signed a two-year contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, the team announced.

Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed but Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said the extension meant the 35-year-old would finish his NBA career in Los Angeles.

"We've said all along that our priority and hope was to have Kobe finish his career as a Laker, and this should ensure that that happens," Kupchak said in a statement.

"To play 20 years in the NBA, and to do so with the same team, is unprecedented, and quite an accomplishment. Most importantly however, it assures us that one of the best players in the world will remain a Laker, bringing us excellent play and excitement for years to come."

Bryant, who is currently recovering from a torn Achilles tendon, joined the Lakers in 1996 and has gone to establish himself as one of the game's all-time greats.

He has helped the Lakers win five NBA championships and was voted as the NBA's Most Valuable Player in 2008. A 15-time All-Star, Bryant is fourth in the all-time scoring list and has won two Olympic gold medals with the United States.
