Suns 112, Nuggets 107 (OT): Gerald Green set a career high with 36 points as visiting Phoenix needed extra time to dispose of Denver.

Green notched eight of his points in overtime and tied a career-high with six 3-pointers for the Suns, who had lost three of their last four games prior to the All-Star break. Goran Dragic added 21 points and a season-high 14 assists and P.J. Tucker and Markieff Morris each notched 13 points, while combining for 23 rebounds.

Evan Fournier's 25 points led the Nuggets, who have lost five straight games. Kenneth Faried contributed 21 points, 10 rebounds and three steals and Wilson Chandler chipped in with 15 points for Denver, which saw a five-point lead erased in the final minute of regulation.

A Green dunk gave Phoenix the early advantage in the overtime period and after a Hickson jam put Denver in front, it was Green again, pulling the Suns back even at 103 with a jumper with 1:36 to play. Tucker found Dragic for a driving slam with 56.2 seconds left to put Phoenix back in front and after a three-point play from Fournier pulled the Nuggets to within 107-106, Green and Marcus Morris combined to hit 3-of-4 free throws before J.J. Hickson's 3-point attempt to tie wouldn't go.

After leading 52-51 at halftime, the Suns opened up an 11-point lead in the third quarter before Denver closed the period with 12 unanswered points, including 10 from Fournier, to hit the fourth up 77-76. The Nuggets used a 12-4 run, as Phoenix missed nine consecutive field goals, to pull ahead 99-94 with 50.5 seconds left in regulation before a 3-pointer from Frye drew the Suns within two and Markieff Morris' putback with 5.7 ticks remaining forced the extra frame.
