Oklahoma City defeated Phoenix 121–109 on April 25 at Footprint Center, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 42 points leading the Thunder's offensive assault while Devin Brooks countered with 33 points for the Suns. OKC's superior efficiency proved decisive—the Thunder shot 49.5 percent from the field compared to Phoenix's 43.7 percent, and controlled the glass with 43 rebounds to 39. The Thunder's fourth quarter proved pivotal, outscoring the Suns 34–30 to seal the victory after trailing or staying close through the first three quarters. Oklahoma City's defense was stifling, posting a 110.0 defensive rating while forcing seven turnovers, and the Thunder's six steals and six blocks underscored their intensity on that end. Phoenix's 13 three-pointers and 25 assists showcased ball movement, but the Suns' 43.7 field-goal percentage and 121.9 defensive rating left them vulnerable. The final margin of 12 points fell short of the 211.5 Vegas total, suggesting a defensive-minded affair. The win keeps OKC's playoff momentum intact as the postseason intensifies.
