Both teams enter Saturday’s match well rested. The OKC Thunder last played on Wednesday when they destroyed the Knicks by a 25 point margin (128-103). Likewise, the Phoenix Suns also last played Wednesday, when they surprised San Antonio beating the Spurs by a whopping 20 points (116 – 96).
Tonight’s match features the third occasion the teams will face each other in this young season with two wins already in the Thunder win column.
It is easy to write off the Suns given their 29th overall seeding and 3-11 bottom Western Conference record. Simply put, that would be a mistake.
