Westbrook 's 51 - point triple - double was far from efficient , as the guard committed five turnovers and took 44 shots in the effort - filled performance Friday against the Suns . Oklahoma City could have ended the game much earlier , as they missed the last three shots in the final 30 seconds of regulation to send the game to overtime . Westbrook actually recorded his 10th assist in overtime , so if it were n't for the extra session , Westbrook would have fallen an assist shy of a triple - double in back - to - back games . T.J Warren , Devin Booker , Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight combined for 87 of the Suns 110 points . In contrast , the Thunder got 72 combined points from Westbrook and Victor Oladipo . That means 159 of the total 223 points came from just six players , with none of the other 15 players scoring in double figures . The projected total of 210 was only eclipsed because of the overtime session . 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 .
