The second half was when the injury-hampered hosts surged to a big lead. Behind Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Josh Giddey, the Thunder won the period 36-27 to carry a 70-59 lead heading into the halftime break.

OKC pushed its lead to 101-80 after three quarters of action.

The fourth period turned out to be the OKC Thunder's parade to the finish line against the Phoenix Suns. Josh Giddey impressed in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's role in the offense. The Australian picked his spots to punish the Suns' defense with his scoring and playmaking He filled up the stat sheet on Friday, finishing almost with a triple-double.

Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace also gave the hosts a jolt coming off the bench with their deadly shooting. Wallace's defense was a nuisance that bothered Bradley Beal and Devin Booker. OKC emphatically defended its homecourt with a 128-103 victory.
