The Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the Phoenix Suns 138–89 on December 10 at Paycom Center, delivering a defensive masterclass that held Phoenix to just 39.3 percent shooting and 10 three-pointers. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 28 points while Chet Holmgren added 24, supported by Oklahoma City's efficient 59.1 percent field-goal shooting and 22 made threes. The Thunder's defense was suffocating throughout, particularly in the fourth quarter when they outscored Phoenix 28–17 to close out the blowout; their 135.7 offensive rating and 85.5 defensive rating underscored their dominance. Phoenix's offensive struggles were compounded by 20 turnovers against just 24 assists, with Devin Brooks (16 points) and Josh Goodwin (15 points) unable to spark any meaningful run. Oklahoma City's 43 rebounds and 32 assists reflected their control of the tempo, while the Suns fell well short of the Vegas total of 221.5 combined points. This lopsided result underscores Oklahoma City's defensive intensity and Phoenix's ongoing offensive inconsistency as both teams vie for playoff positioning.
