OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Matt Barnes made a 3-pointer with 21 seconds left Tuesday to give the Phoenix Suns a 99-98 win that gave Oklahoma City a 12th straight loss.

Steve Nash had 12 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter while adding 15 assists and eight rebounds. Amare Stoudemire had 22 points for Phoenix.

Kevin Durant scored 29 points and Chris Wilcox 18 off the bench for Oklahoma City, which started the Scott Brooks era with a loss to the New Orleans Hornets on Saturday.

Brooks was named interim head coach prior to Saturday's game after P.J. Carlesimo was fired earlier in the day following a 1-12 start in the Thunder's inaugural season.
