The Phoenix Suns opened their season with a hard-fought 116-113 overtime victory in front of a raucous road crowd at the new Intuit Dome, the home of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Suns star Kevin Durant scored 25 points on 8-of-17 shooting, while Bradley Beal pitched in 24 points on 8-of-12 shooting in the victory. Durant, who has played in plenty of arenas - both new and old - over the course of his basketball career, loved the Intuit Dome and showered praise on Clippers owner Steve Ballmer in the process.
