@anthonyVslater 6:45 p.m. Phil Forte's been huge tonight. He's 4-7 from three for 12 BIG points.
6:46 p.m. Video: Nick Collison & Thabo Sefolosha warm up as #Thunder vs @Suns approaches. Thunder Live on now #FoxSportsOKlahoma yfrog.com/myis9beonjjasu…
6:53 p.m. Happy New Year! socialcam.com/s/fGt9SMQ8
6:53 p.m. Marcus Smart's two highest scoring games this year have come against #6 NC State and #10 Gonzaga. He's a big game player.
6:57 p.m. That's a season-high 21 points for Marcus Smart. Doing everything else on the court as well.
6:58 p.m. Fran Fraschilla on Marcus Smart: "He's not a great shooter, until the final five minutes. That's what makes you a winner."
7:05 p.m. Kelly Olynyk with 21 second-half points. He's been a monster. Gonzaga up 64-63 with 1:28 left.
7:09 p.m. Zags up 67-65 with 30 seconds left. #OKstate with the ball. Marcus Smart will be at the center of anything Ford draws up.
7:12 p.m. Not a guy in the building more disappointed about those missed free throws than Marcus Smart.
7:14 p.m. Gonzaga beats #OKstate 69-68. Great game, disappointing finish for the Cowboys. They end conference play 10-2.
7:15 p.m. Gonzaga finishes nonconference play 5-0 against the Big 12. Amazing. Five more conference wins than I expect TCU to get.
7:18 p.m. #Thunder wearing the alternate navy/blue unis tonight vs @Suns. Buy the jerseys and t-shirts at nbathundershop.com
7:18 p.m. Marcus Smart finishes with a career-high 23 points (on 9/15 shooting), 6 assists and 4 boards. But all he'll remember is the two missed FTs.
7:21 p.m. Gonzaga center Kelly Olynyk had all of his 21 points and 9 rebounds in the second half. #OKstate had no answer.
7:24 p.m. Like his new Nike ad suggests, @KDTrey5 is "not nice." He's talking smack with P.J. Tucker, a fellow Texas product.
7:26 p.m. Clean block by @sergeibaka9 called goaltending.
7:27 p.m. RT @paulcoro: After a J, Durant let a smiling Tucker know it all the way back. Story coming on how Tucker helped recruit Durant to Texas ...
7:29 p.m. Dragic and @russwest44 always go at each other hard. Westbrook picked up second foul at 2:23 of first and likely will sit.
7:33 p.m. Never thought coming into the season that P.J. Tucker would do the best defensively on Kevin Durant. That's what's happening.
7:34 p.m. After one, the Thunder leads the Suns 32-28.
7:35 p.m. Another corner-3 surrendered at the quarter buzzer by #Thunder. Has to lead the league.
7:38 p.m. End of 1st quarter on NY Eve. #Thunder builds 32-28 lead on @Suns. Serge Ibaka has 8 points, Russell Westbrook 7. thunder.nba.com
7:43 p.m. Thunder's first turnover comes at 8:19 of second quarter. Averaging 16.0 per game (29th in NBA). Suns have 5 turnovers.
7:58 p.m. Suns shooting 55.9 percent from the field to #Thunder's 46.2 percent and score tied at 48.
8:01 p.m. He asked "Will you marry me?" She said "Yes!" All on the @LovesTravelStop Kiss Cam on the scoreboard! #NewYearsEve. pic.twitter.com/9HxQ00nK
8:02 p.m. Russell Westbrook just had to leave the game with 1:13 remaining in the second quarter after being elbowed in the face by Luis Scola.
8:03 p.m. Russell Westbrook goes to locker room with bloody face near right eye. Done for the half. 50-50 with 1:13 remaining.
8:07 p.m. Thunder has won 11 straight at home and is 15-2 on the season and leads Phoenix (2-13 on the road) by just 54-53 at the half.
8:07 p.
