OKLAHOMA CITY(AP) Michael Redd, Richard Jefferson and Charlie Villanueva each scored 20 points and the Milwaukee Bucks spoiled the Oklahoma City Thunder's debut with a 98-87 win on Wednesday night.

Playing their opener after moving from Seattle in the offseason, the Thunder made it interesting by cutting a 24-point deficit to 11 in the fourth quarter before Redd re-entered the game and got an easy layup underneath.

Villanueva followed with a basket off an offensive rebound, and Charlie Bell's 3-pointer from the left wing provided a 97-79 lead with 2:32 to play.

At least the late rally gave a sellout crowd of 19,136 something to cheer about after a miserable start by the Thunder.

Rookie of the Year Kevin Durant was held scoreless in the first half as the Bucks took advantage of Oklahoma City's shooting woes to pull ahead.

Andrew Bogut added 14 points and Bell scored 11 for Milwaukee. Villanueva also had 12 rebounds.

Chris Wilcox led Oklahoma City with 15 points off the bench, first-round pick Russell Westbrook scored 13 in his debut and Durant finished with 12 on 5-for-14 shooting.
