Bledsoe, Suns Top Westbrook, Thunder In Overtime

by Leave a Comment

PHOENIX (Sporting Alert) — Point guard Eric Bledsoe flirted with a triple-double as the Phoenix Suns secured an overtime 117-113 victory over fellow Western Conference playoff rivals Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night.

Russell Westbrook of the OKC Thunder

Bledsoe collected 28 points on 11-of-16 shooting from the floor, 13 rebounds and nine assists and he was well supported by Markieff Morris, who added 29 points and 11 rebounds to lead the way for the Suns at the US Airways Center.

“I just tried to show a little more enthusiasm,” Bledsoe told reporters. “My teammates, they feed off of that.

“That’s what my coaches have been telling me, that’s what my team has been telling me, just step up and that’s what I’m trying to do.”

Brandon Knight finished with 15 points, Alex Len contributed 12 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks for Phoenix (31-28), which moved within 1 1/2 games of Oklahoma City for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Russell Westbrook, in the meantime recorded a triple-double of 39 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists in an explosive night for the Thunder (32-26), who were without star forward Kevin Durant for the fourth straight game.

Enes Kanter finished with 18 points and six boards, Dion Waiters ended with 16 points and Serge Ibaka contributed 13 points, nine rebounds and three blocks in the defeat for OKC.

The Suns jumped out to an early 25-15 lead at the end of the first quarter before both teams traded blows thereafter.

Markieff Morris completed a three-point play to give the Suns a 109-106 lead with 20 seconds left in regulation, but Westbrook answered back with an old fashion three-point play of his own to send the game into overtime.

Both clubs finished 109-109 at the end of 48 minutes, but the hosts outscored the travelers 8-4 in overtime to seal the victory.

“They are a good team, even without Durant,” Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said. “They’ve got players out there that can really play.

“I just give them all the credit. I thought they played a great game.”

Despite his big night in the second half and in overtime, Westbrook struggled from the floor after missing his first eight attempts and going just 12-of-38 from the field overall and 1-of-10 from 3-point range.

“I think I was actually shooting too much,” Westbrook admitted. “I think I got to do a better job of trusting my teammates more.

“I am not saying I don’t, but consistently trusting them regardless of what is going on, regardless of the time, score and possession. Just find a way to trust them and let them make some plays as well.”

P.J. Tucker scored 12 points and four rebounds and Marcus Morris chipped in with 11 points and five boards off the bench for Phoenix, which picked up its second straight victory and earned its first win in five overtime games this season.

Oklahoma City Thunder continue their road trip on Friday night against the Portland Trail Blazers, while the Suns play hosts to struggling defending champions San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night.

Lakers grab first win: NBA Scores and Records-Nov.9

by Leave a Comment

LOS ANGELES (Sporting Alert) — Jeremy Lin and Kobe Bryant each scored 21 points as the Los Angeles Lakers grabbed its first win of the season, while the Golden State Warriors dropped first of the term on Sunday.

Charles Barkley is now free to eat, after the LA Lakers (1-5) outscored the Charlotte Hornets in the second half on their way to a 107-92 victory – the first win of the season for Byron Scott’s team.

Barkley said on TNT last week that he would be fasting until Scott’s side won a game this season and Lakers forward Ed Davis, who scored 10 points and five rebounds in the win, used social media to fire back at the TNT commentator.

“Charles your fat a– can eat now,” Davis wrote on Twitter.

Before that though, Bryant scored 21 points and six rebounds and Lin added 21 points and seven assists for the Lakers, which snapped a five game losing streak.

“I know the city probably feels good about it,” said Scott after the win. “Mentally, it gives us the vision that we can win.”

Carlos Boozer scored 16 points and five rebounds and Jordan Hill collected 12 points, seven assists and six boards in the win for Los Angeles.

Also on Sunday, the Phoenix Suns ended Golden State’s five game undefeated winning run on the season with a 107-95 victory at US Airways Center.

Isaiah Thomas scored 22 points and seven boards and Goran Dragic and Gerald Green each added 19 points apiece in the win for Phoenix.

“We knew if we were just solid at the defensive end, they would be turning the ball over because that’s what they’ve been doing this whole season,” Thomas said.

“Guys were open and they knocked down shots. It started at the defensive end, though.”

Stephen Curry finished with 28 points, 10 assists and five steals, but also had 10 turnovers in the defeat for Golden State (5-1), who were dropping their first game of the term.

“We just made a lot of stupid plays that gave them life as opposed to putting the nail in the coffin when we had the opportunity to do that,” Curry said after the defeat.

Draymond Green scored 22 points and nine boards in the defeat.

In other results, the Toronto Raptors (6-1) handed the Philadelphia 76ers (0-7) a seventh successive defeat to start the season with a 120-88 result, while Oklahoma City Thunder (2-5) held off the Sacramento Kings (5-2), 101-93.
