OKC Thunder vs Phoenix Suns | Game Highlights | March 29, 2024
Wiggins was excellent on Wednesday coming off the bench as he’s always been and Chad hren pulls up that shot right over the defense and he’s got his first two is one of those guys gets it close to the basket he likes to take his time
Gets you up in the air Mark has been talking about doing so many different things as there is Josh giddy doing what he’s been doing over the month of March and a quick burst to the cup for the land as giddy hard charging right to the
Cup but nkuch able to recover he had the block Wiggins loose ball as hren is going to Glide his way to the cup and score it right over Durant little things in a game like this you know hustle plays tap the ball L loose Wiggins picks
It up and in the finish by Chad Loose Change off the floor Thunder winning the hustle game great cut and it’s Wiggins no surprise giddy finds him how about this pass is in the air while the player is he is a master as award drives off balance able
To regain the balance and then flick it up and in with the right hand just holding off to that basketball and keeping his balance got a solid game there is Booker getting blocked from the backside by Jaylen Williams right there step for step on Booker it’s hard to catch up to two cuz
Booker is so quick with that first step and it’s Gordon Hayward at 13 points he was huge in leveling off the game Wiggins from the outside going to rattle in that three and you know how important that challenge was with the Thunder the Suns and the Thunder Isaiah Joe checks the shot clock
He’s going to hoist and he’s going to hit even with the hand in his face of [Applause] Booker look how contested this shot is right here both the teams not a whole no fast break points just really quick offense quick offense like that as jdub finds the dive there of Chet
Hren he set three up there case Wallace takes it right to the cup there’s a little fast break opportunity just love to see all the creativity to his game like that then Rich Williams tough shot Isaiah Joe faded away not a problem Isaiah Joe even with
Onne hanging all over him and he drills another three Deon Brooker was on the first one COI trying to figure out okay I got it 30 point game against Denver he’s got 11 here in the first half H green takes a bump off Eubank shoots it over the top eubank’s not going to
Block that one there is Dort spotted up little ball fake sets him free momentarily still looking for something clean and finally it’s kenri Williams just outside the block you know what you’re facing with those three terrific scores remember nerk had the big Rebound in the game kept him kind of off the
Glass so [Applause] far part of that defensive versatility up top Jay will swings it over to dor he lines one up from downtown let that one Go that’s the essence of what the Flop rule was in place for there’s a beautiful cut Josh Giddy and a baseline slide there from kenri Williams and a nice way to respond but that was definitely not a flop on Durant oh excuse me on Dort on last possession the Dort is just
Trying to harass Kevin dur that’s time he harassed him enough to force the turnover but the defense really hardening up here in this second quarter Joe off The handoff from hren drives in stripped got it right back in the corner no hesitation on the shot and he knocks down another [Applause] Three could have gotten the two for one Booker strick up ahead Gordon Hayward Durant the last line of defense Hayward swings It Down Jay du and in all kinds of TR JB still able to squeeze it up and in this one there’s one of those turnovers this is what the Thunder did
So much in the first two matchups about Conta on inside nowhere to go keeping the pivot foot down 5 seconds on the shot clock giddy stops pulls up use that right hand and Josh giddy still under control nkic has been quiet though just Five Points Dort drives tough shot right through traffic
And Dort took a shot still still able to score and Josh giddy doing what he’s been doing Lou Dort another drive with the left hand Booker not one went wide left but an offensive rebound but the Kick Out Pass right into the hands of Dort there’s Jay do got make a decision
There’s a decision by Josh giddy all the way to the cup and a little finger roll and he was eyeing the rim on that one-handed stuff able to recover on the Baseline giddy open three that’s good from the outside so the Suns get three chances on that possession two
Threes and Durant and it’s no good Dort from the outside stretches out the lead with that Nifty steel it’s a three on one there is O’Neal O’Neal is going to get completely swatted and wiped out by jayb incredible recovery defensively Wiggins tough turnaround connect and it’s going to put Eric
Gordon at the line About this man just swatting it just coming up look at the elevation J du blocks some shots he just continues to block him and the Thunder teammates are now chipping in turn it over the ranch shot off nicely initially by giddy now he got caught in the air
Gives it right back Wiggins pushing makes his decision floats in the air and able to score Wiggins though tied up really tied up as it squirts out the beal two on one Allen kept it himself tied up by J Will and then it’s saved by K Wallace I mean just a terrific
Defensive play looks like there’ll be an easy bucket for Allen gets stripped and not given up on the play’s KAS I’ll tell you that’s just you talk about still time to operate here quick little switch there with kenri Gordon his drive and he got swallowed up defensively out of bounds with 3 seconds
And a lot of them aren’t falling jdub right through the lane puts enough on it spins it home jdub getting the deuce in transition as the Thunder have been in attack mode throughout the night making plays at The Rim as is Bei Suns start of playing with
The urgency there is K Wallace quick on the three and the Thunder not missing the threes now 12 out of 23 was a terrific player in his cry had that hip injury which really affected his career after the trade from Boston to Cleveland the effort on the defensive ENT limiting
This Phoenix team a very good offense a top 10 offense there is 43% shooting it it’s been a little bit of everybody contributing on plays like that as K Wallace dials up another three do two things here continue to execute take a little bit of time time off the clock
Don’t want too many empty possessions Wallace boy he’s feeling it now from Deep that’s back to- back threes for the rookie the th are going to be able to close out this little mini two game stint in Oklahoma City with a victory nice deflection there’s a phoenix
Turnover so many different guys who have been a part of this well it’s a total team effort tonight and that’s what you like about it as the Thunder bench has stepped up in a big way 43 points T night here inside paycom Center 128 103 there the Thunder dominate quarters
Two and three and never look back they really put their foot on the accelerator tighten their grip in the game and Josh giddy certainly had his part in it but he was not the only one and it’s the Thunder taken down the Suns as you said
Michael win number 51 on the season how about this

Josh Giddey puttin up numbers lately 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Giddey highest numbers across the board and played 2-6 minutes less than every other starter as usual!!
this shows what Giddey would do if he had his own team. he sacrfices so much, yes Shai is the better player, but Giddey deserves his own team
where are all the "giddey must be traded" fools?
Really impressed with Marks coaching, the way we kept Zion(relatively) quiet and now Nurkic after he had a 31 rebound game against us before. Giddey and Joe were great but J Will was a big reason why we took control of the game he made some big plays. Just can’t wait to see this team in the playoffs. Oh and lastly always nice to send that cupcake packing 🐍
Giddey stepping it up.
Chet did a good job boxing out nurkic today
Giddy need hire personal 3 point and defense coach. Make 1000 3s every day till he can bring 50% on shooting.
Giddey me plzz
