Thunder Dominates Suns, Halfway to Another Sweep
23 Apr
Summary
- Thunder lead series 2-0 after winning Game 2 decisively.
- SGA scored 37 points, while Holmgren and Williams added 19.
- Jalen Williams exited Game 2 with a left hamstring concern.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are now two wins away from a first-round sweep after defeating the Phoenix Suns 120-107 in Game 2. The Thunder extended their lead significantly in the third quarter, where they outscored the Suns 35-20.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was instrumental, scoring 37 points and dishing out nine assists. Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams each contributed 19 points. However, the Thunder faced a scare when Jalen Williams reached for his left hamstring midway through the third quarter, though it is his right hamstring that has caused him issues previously.
The Suns were more competitive in the first half, trailing by just eight points at halftime. Their ball movement was improved, and they committed fewer fouls on Gilgeous-Alexander. Despite a late rally that cut the deficit to 10 points, Phoenix could not overcome the Thunder's second-half surge.
