Double figures was the theme in terms of scoring for both the Phoenix Suns and the Portland Trail Blazers in the emphatic overtime game that resulted in the Suns first win of the season . Six Trail Blazers finished in double figures , including starters Damian Lillard , C.J . McCollum and Maurice Harkless , in addition to the three bench players : Meyers Leonard , Evan Turner and Allen Crabbe . The Suns were able to match those double figures performances that the Blazers put forth with five of their own : T.J. Warren , Eric Bledsoe , Devin Booker , Alex Len and Brandon Knight . The bench minutes from Brandon Knight , who saw 32 minutes of action in Wednesday 's win , has been a staple to the back court , and although the Suns record does not reflect the start they would like to have ( 1 - 4 ) , the consistent action is a good sign going forward . The Phoenix Suns defeated the Portland Trail Blazers at Talking Stick Resort Arena on Wednesday . The Suns ( 1 - 4 ) grabbed their first win of the season in emphatic fashion against a tough opponent in the Trail Blazers ( 2 - 3 ) . A neck - and - neck performance from end to end resulted in not one , but two moments that got every Suns fan out of their seats . Eric Bledsoe drove the lane and sank a layup with 0:1 left in regulation to put the Suns up by two points , but Meyers Leonard was the end of a fantastic drawn up play to drop in the buzzer beating equalizer to send the Blazers and Suns to overtime . Phoenix pulled away by six points after T.J. Warren dropped in two free throws with just over :30 left in the overtime period , but the Blazers simply would not go away . After Damian Lillard drove the lane for his own layup , and grabbed the foul , to the tie the game at 115 - 115 with :6 left , Eric Bledsoe sank the game winning three - pointer to cap off a wild finish in Phoenix . T.J. Warren led the Suns in scoring with 27 points , to go along with seven rebounds , while Eric Bledsoe added 20 points , seven rebounds and four assists . Devin Booker tallied 15 points on 6 - of - 15 shooting in 39 minutes of action . Damian Lillard once again led the Blazers in scoring with 27 points , five assists and five rebounds . Lillard 's backcourt partner C.J . McCollum also tallied a solid scoring mark with 24 points , four boards and five assists . Both teams play on Friday , as the Blazers head to Dallas to take on the Mavericks while the New Orleans Pelicans will welcome the Suns .
