Thunder Extend Streak With 11th Straight Win
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Oklahoma City Thunder with 37 points as they earned their 11th consecutive victory, defeating the Phoenix Suns 123-119 on Friday in an NBA Cup matchup.
Game Highlights
The Thunder controlled much of the game but faced a late Suns rally, holding on through solid free-throw shooting and efficient defense in the final minutes. Gilgeous-Alexander’s consistency and ability to create mid-range shots kept Oklahoma City ahead when Phoenix tightened its defense.
Josh Giddey contributed key assists and rebounds, while Chet Holmgren added crucial interior defense to stop several late Suns attacks. The team improved their season record to 19-1, continuing one of the best starts in franchise history.
Suns’ Performance
The Phoenix Suns had strong showings from Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, who combined for more than half of the team’s points. Despite their efforts, turnovers and defensive lapses in critical moments cost them a chance to end the Thunder’s streak.
“We fought until the end, but they hit some big shots down the stretch,” Durant said following the game.
