Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 99-83 victory over the Phoenix Suns, scoring 28 points and contributing six rebounds, four assists, and one block.

The Suns faced significant offensive struggles, shooting a season-low 29.3 percent from the floor, with Devin Booker managing only 12 points on 2 of 10 shooting. Oklahoma City’s defense was pivotal, as they recorded 11 blocks and capitalized on Phoenix's turnovers to extend their lead. The win also marked a rough stretch for the Suns, who have now lost three of their last four games. Gilgeous-Alexander's performance included a strong third quarter, where he scored 15 of the team's 35 points, solidifying his role as a key player for the Thunder.
