Shaquille O'Neal had 28 points and 12 rebounds, moving into ninth place on the NBA's career scoring list and the Phoenix Suns overcame the loss of two-time Most Valuable Player Steve Nash to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 110-102 on Monday.

Nash played only nine minutes before leaving with back spasms and Amare Stoudemire was hounded by foul trouble, but the Suns still had plenty of firepower to overwhelm the NBA-worst Thunder.

Jason Richardson scored 20 points and reserve Matt Barnes had 19 for Phoenix, which snapped a four-game road losing streak

Rookie Russell Westbrook scored a career-high 31 and Jeff Green, 22, to lead Oklahoma City.

At Auburn Hills, Michigan, Rodney Stuckey led a balanced attack with 19 points and Detroit beat Orlando 88-82 for their fourth straight win.

The Magic had won seven straight and were playing a Detroit team that was missing Richard Hamilton (groin), but they trailed for nearly the entire game.

Tayshaun Prince and Rasheed Wallace each scored 16 points and Allen Iverson had 15 to lead five Pistons in double figures.

Rashard Lewis led the Magic with 23 points while Dwight Howard added 18 points and 18 rebounds.
