Jalen Williams added 26 points, and Chet Holmgren controlled the paint with 20 points, nine rebounds and four blocks.
Game overview
Oklahoma City’s young core looked in midseason form. The Thunder attacked early, built a 10-point first-quarter lead and answered every Phoenix run with poise. Gilgeous-Alexander dissected the Suns’ defense with midrange pull-ups and drives, while Williams provided secondary creation and transition scoring.
Phoenix stayed competitive behind Devin Booker, who scored 33 points and kept the Suns within striking distance into the fourth quarter. Grayson Allen added 18 points, and Mark Williams contributed 16 points and 11 rebounds, but the Suns could not match Oklahoma City’s defensive intensity over 48 minutes.
Key moments
The Thunder led 108-104 with seven minutes left before putting together the decisive run. Holmgren blocked two shots on one possession, Gilgeous-Alexander converted a three-point play at the other end, and Williams capped a 9-0 burst with a transition dunk. The lead grew to 12, and Phoenix never threatened again.

Tactical story
Oklahoma City’s length bothered Phoenix all night. The Thunder used Holmgren as a roving rim protector and rotated quickly to close out on the Suns’ shooters. Offensively, Gilgeous-Alexander’s ability to get to his spots forced Phoenix into help rotations, opening corner threes and backdoor cuts for teammates.
Season impact
The win is an early reminder that Oklahoma City remains one of the Western Conference’s deepest and most dangerous teams. Phoenix showed offensive firepower but needs more consistency on defense. The Suns will look to tighten their rotations and improve their late-game execution before the schedule gets tougher.
