In a dazzling display of talent, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 50 points to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a resounding victory over the Phoenix Suns, securing a dominating 140-88 win. This win comes as the Thunder’s latest in a string of impressive performances, improving their season record to 29-24 while the Suns fall to 27-27, now dealing with the absence of star player Kevin Durant due to injury. Gilgeous-Alexander’s scoring spree was complemented by Josh Giddey, who contributed 19 points, and Jalen Williams, adding 13 points. The Thunder’s defensive prowess limited the Suns’ scoring attempts, forcing them into tough shots and only allowing them to hit 38.9% of their field goals. ‘We really executed our game plan and everyone contributed,’ said Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault. The Thunder’s intensity on both sides of the ball was evident as they led by as many as 54 points during the match. The Suns struggled to keep pace, with their top scorer, Devin Booker, being held to just 16 points. This win marks the Thunder’s sixth victory in their last eight games and sends a loud message to the league about their competitiveness this season.
