The Oklahoma City Thunder come back in overtime thanks to Westbrook's 51 - point triple - double to beat the Phoenix Suns, 113 - 110, at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Friday. Despite trailing for nearly the entirety of the game, the Thunder (20) were able to prevail in overtime to win their home opener. The Suns (0 - 2) had an 18 - point lead at one point and held a lead until 4:40 left in the fourth quarter, when Oklahoma City took their first lead of the game. In fact, the three - point winning margin was the largest lead the Thunder had all game long. Russell Westbrook carried the load, as he dropped 51 points en route to a triple - double. Rebounding was key for Oklahoma City, as they brought down 57 boards, while holding the Suns to just 44. The Suns were blown out in their home opener, but showed some resiliency here. T.J. Warren led the team in scoring, dropping a career - high 30 points on 13 - for - 18 shooting to go along with nine rebounds. Devin Booker was second on the team, tallying 21 points and six rebounds of his own, going just 8 - for - 25 from the field. Eric Bledsoe totaled 17 points, six rebounds, six assists and three steals in the defeat. The only other player in double figures was Brandon Knight, who dropped 19 points off the bench. This was Oklahoma City's first game without Durant in their home building and Russell Westbrook made fans quickly forget about the former MVP. Westbrook put together a 51 - point, 13 - rebound, 10 - assist triple - double to carry the Thunder to a win. He also went 17 - for - 44 from the field and made 15 - of - 20 from the free - throw line. The only other player in double figures was Victor Oladipo, who accumulated 21 points and five rebounds. Steven Adams was a point shy of a double - double, scoring nine and grabbing 10 boards. Both teams return to action on Sunday, as the Thunder host the Los Angeles Lakers and the Suns host the Golden State Warriors.
