Mikal Bridges received his second-career start as the Suns tipped-off against the Thunder on Saturday night.
Bridges opened up the game for the Suns as he knocked down a three to put his team on the board. He followed it up with another hit from deep as the Suns took an 11-9 lead early in the first quarter.
It was a constant back-and-forth battle through the first half as neither team could take much of an advantage. Paul George would help lead the Thunder to a five-point halftime lead, but it was still either team's game.
The Thunder caught fire out of the break as they went up by as many as 18 early in the third quarter.
