OKC vs PHX Recap: Thunder sweep Suns in stylish series-clinching 131-122

Oklahoma City dominated Phoenix in Game 4, winning 131-122 to complete a perfect 4-0 series sweep. This was the Thunder's statement moment. While the Suns fought hard throughout, OKC's depth and defense proved too much to handle. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with 31 points and 8 assists, controlling the game with his calm, methodical scoring. Chet Holmgren added 24 points and 12 rebounds on efficient shooting. The Thunder built a lead early and held on despite Phoenix's second-half pushback. Even without Jalen Williams, who missed the game with a hamstring injury, Oklahoma City showed why they're the defending champions. Their roster is simply too talented and deep for opponents to slow down.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren were simply unstoppable for Oklahoma City. Shai scored 31 points while dishing out 8 assists, showing why he's the reigning MVP. His smooth, confident style kept the Thunder's offense humming whenever they needed baskets. Chet Holmgren was equally impressive with 24 points and 12 rebounds on fantastic shooting. Beyond those two, Ajay Mitchell stepped up as a key contributor with 22 points, proving OKC's roster goes way deeper than most teams. Isaiah Hartenstein added 18 points and 12 rebounds, giving the Thunder a powerful frontcourt that dominated the glass. Alex Caruso chipped in 14 points. This balanced scoring attack made Phoenix's defense impossible—there was always another Thunder player ready to score.

Phoenix came to compete, and their players showed courage throughout all four quarters. Devin Booker led the Suns with 24 points and 6 assists, running the offense as their main playmaker. Jalen Green had a strong performance with 23 points, while Dillon Brooks also scored 23 points, bringing his usual fiery energy on both ends. Collin Gillespie contributed 20 points off the bench, showing the Suns have real talent. The problem? Oklahoma City's defense was relentless. The Thunder's length and discipline made every Phoenix possession difficult. Although Booker and the Suns scored consistently, they couldn't match OKC's efficiency or depth. Being down three key players to injury—Mark Williams, Jordan Goodwin, and others—made it even harder to find answers against a championship team.
