Phoenix (13-26) ended a string of 12 consecutive losses as a visitor -- its longest single-season skid in nearly three decades -- on Saturday with a decisive 97-81 victory over Chicago. Luis Scola had 22 points in the Suns' 2,000th all-time win and Michael Beasley had 20 on 10-of-14 shooting off the bench, his best scoring performance in a little more than a month.
Jared Dudley will be out again hurting Phoenix's chances of getting back on track at home.
The swingman, third on the team with 12.1 points per game, had to sit out Saturday's win after bruising his right hand in a loss at Brooklyn on Friday. He was expected to get an X-ray to determine the severity of his injury.
Dudley had scored a combined 50 points in his three games before getting hurt but was held to seven on 2-of-7 shooting in a 114-96 loss at Oklahoma City on Dec. 31.
Meanwhile, the Thunder's Serge Ibaka (bruised chest) and Thabo Sefolosha (neck) missed Sunday's 87-83 win in Portland and their statuses are unknown for the visit to Phoenix.
Russell Westbrook had 18 points Sunday despite missing 16 of 21 shots and DeAndre Liggins, who replaced Sefolosha in the lineup, finished with 11 points and nine rebounds in his first NBA start. Nick Collison had eight points and three rebounds while starting in place of Ibaka, who had not missed a game while averaging career highs of 14.3 points and 8.4 boards.
