Atlanta ? Jason Terry threw the ball into the stands, and his jersey and headband soon followed.

“It’s the greatest feeling we’ve had all year,” Terry said after the ragtag Atlanta Hawks defeated the Los Angeles Lakers.

Terry’s free throw with 11.9 seconds left put Atlanta ahead, and Gary Payton and Shaquille O’Neal each missed last-second shots as the Hawks rallied for a 94-93 victory Tuesday.

Kobe Bryant, the Lakers’ leading scorer, was in Colorado for a closed hearing in the sexual assault case against him. It was the first time this season he missed a game when healthy; he sat out 14 others because of various injuries. Los Angeles is 7-8 without him.

“Without Kobe, we should have proved something,” Payton said. “He has been pushing us. If he had been here, he would have given us more energy. I didn’t play, Shaq didn’t play.”

Oakland, Calif. — Reggie Miller scored 21 points and Eastern Conference-leading Indiana sent Golden State to its third straight loss. Golden State’s Cliff Robinson and Indiana’s Jermaine O’Neal were ejected with 3:23 left after two separate incidents on each end of the court. The players had to be restrained by several teammates and coaches all the way off the court as they continued to yell at each other. Fans threw two plastic bottles toward the Pacers bench, and another bottle went toward O’Neal as he made his exit.
