The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Phoenix Suns at home, 118-101. A game after showing some wear in Dallas, the Thunder got back to their primary strategic focus on their defense and rode it to a daunting 32-13 first quarter lead. While the Thunder wavered and wobbled a bit in the 3rd, watching a 28 point lead dwindle all the way to 7, they were able to push forward and hold onto the comfortable win.
Paul George led the way with one of his best offensive performances of the season, scoring 32 on 11-19 shooting, including 6-10 from 3-point range.
