Suns 105, Spurs 101 (OT): Jermaine O’Neal collected 22 points and 13 rebounds off the bench as Phoenix ended San Antonio’s 18-game home winning streak.
Luis Scola added 15 points and Goran Dragic recorded 13 points and 13 assists for the Suns, who ended a six-game overall losing streak to the Spurs and a seven-game slide in San Antonio.
Tony Parker returned from a one-game absence and had 22 points and eight assists as the Spurs lost at home for the first time since Nov. 19. Tim Duncan added 19 points and 11 rebounds but San Antonio went 0-for-10 from the field in overtime.
Phoenix overcame an 11-point deficit early in the fourth quarter to force overtime. The Spurs were still up 93-86 with 3:06 left before Marcus Morris scored seven points during a regulation-ending 14-7 run, capped by Wesley Johnson’s 3-pointer at the buzzer that forced overtime.
The two teams combined to miss their first 14 field goal attempts of the extra period until Marcin Gortat’s put-back with 1:07 left snapped the drought and gave the Suns a 102-101 edge. O’Neal grabbed a long offensive rebound and added another basket with nine seconds left and P.J. Tucker split a pair of free throws to put it away.
