Rapid Recap: Suns give up big lead, lose 124-120 to Thunder

Tough loss for the Phoenix Suns today to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

They had a 15-point first half lead, 13 during much of the third quarter and 10 points with 10 minutes to go... yet, they lost the lead in the next four minutes and never could get their focus back on a hard-charging Thunder.

The Suns got the deficit to 4 with 1:24 left, but Chris Paul missed a jumper and Ish Wainright missed a corner three to turn the game into a free-throw contest.

Story of the game? The Thunder scored 31 points on only 14 Suns turnovers, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got 19 free throws as part of a 40-point game as the Thunder won their 5th straight home game.
