Facing elimination, the Phoenix Suns<\/a> didn’t lie down against the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>. It wasn’t enough to avoid a four-game sweep.<\/p>\n The Suns shot 53 percent against the NBA’s No. 1 defense, outscored the Thunder in the paint and forced 16 turnovers but still fell to OKC’s three-point barrage in a 131-122 Game 4 win. It’s the end of a surprising Suns season, though only one step in the Thunder’s quest to repeat as NBA champions.<\/p>\n On a night where the Suns had four players score in double figures and cracked 109 points for the first time in the first-round series, the Thunder got it done with their own offense. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/a> scored 31 points and shot an unforgettable 9-for-11 from the foul line. Chet Holmgren<\/a> added 24 points and 12 rebounds, but it was the hot shooting up and down the roster that carried the Thunder.<\/p>\n They shot 17-for-34 from deep, with seven different OKC players making at least one three. Second-year guard Ajay Mitchell went 4-for-6 on his way to 22 points, while Alex Caruso matched him with 4-for-6 shooting and 14 of the Thunder’s 35 bench points.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nOklahoma City Thunder overwhelmed Phoenix Suns<\/h2>\n
