Phoenix, AZ -
Kevin Durant and James Harden led a balanced scoring attack with 22 points each as Oklahoma City earned its 50th win of the season with a 116-98 victory at Phoenix Wednesday night.
The Thunder (50-24) led 79-73 heading to the fourth quarter and by just four before going on an 18-5 run over the next five minutes.
Phoenix led 16-15 in the first quarter before Oklahoma City scored eight straight points to take the lead.
The Suns would battle back to retake the lead in the second, but another 8-0 spurt just before halftime gave the Thunder the lead for good.
Oklahoma City shot 54-percent from the field and 8-of-18 from three-point range while limiting the Suns to just 45-percent and 4-of-14 from long range.
Joining Durant and Harden in double figures was Russell Westbrook with 16, Serge Ibaka with 15 and Kendrick Perkins with 13.
Oklahoma City has now won five straight games, 11 of 12 and 14 of 16 in the month of March. They'll return to action Friday night at Portland.
