Phoenix Suns at Oklahoma City Thunder

SGA enters Game 2 of the Western Conference first round following a 25-point performance in just 29 minutes during the Game 1 blowout, where he showcased his elite foul-drawing ability with 17 free-throw attempts. With Suns center Mark Williams sidelined in a walking boot, Phoenix lacks the interior presence to contain Gilgeous-Alexander’s relentless rim pressure, positioning the 31.1 PPG regular-season scoring leader to surpass the 30-point mark as the series intensity ramps up.
