The Phoenix Suns will try to avoid falling into an 0-2 hole as they visit the Paycom Center for Game 2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. OKC set the tone in the series opener with a suffocating 119-84 demolition on Sunday and will look to repeat that performance tonight as massive favorites at home.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the charge with 25 points and 7 assists, but it was Jalen Williams who stole the show in his return to form. Williams, who played just 33 games during the regular season due to injury, looked like his All-NBA self with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists on 9-for-15 shooting in 29 minutes. Chet Holmgren dominated on both ends with 16 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, feasting on a Phoenix frontcourt that had no answer for him. Lu Dort added timely shooting from deep, and the Thunder’s defense – the best in the NBA during the regular season – held the Suns to just 84 points on heavily contested looks all night.
The biggest question heading into Game 2 is whether Phoenix can find any offensive identity against this defense. The Suns punched their playoff ticket just 48 hours before the series began with a play-in win over Golden State, giving them virtually no rest or preparation time against the top-seeded Thunder.
