OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Rookie James Harden scored six of his 11 points in overtime, helping the Oklahoma City Thunder salvage a 30-point outing by Kevin Durant and win their preseason home opener by beating the Phoenix Suns 110-105 on Monday night.

Amare Stoudemire scored 20 points for the Suns, who twice rallied from double-digit deficits — the second time with backups — and never led until overtime. Phoenix was up 103-100 before the Thunder closed the game on a 10-2 run. D.J. White put Oklahoma City ahead for good at 104-103 with a jumper with 2:55 left and Michael Harris followed with a three-point play.

Durant went 5 of 5 from 3-point range as the Thunder finished 9 of 17 from behind the arc.
