Anyone watching OKC on national TV tonight who thought they were gonna call it a night once they were down 14 in the 4th quarter on the second night of a back to back with SGA has obviously never watched the Thunder play before. – 12:21 AM

Cam Payne revenge game. Mark Daigneault did not look happy calling that timeout. The bottom line is, the Thunder offense just ran out of momentum without SGA and the Suns did what good teams do. But this was still a good showing given the circumstances. – 12:05 AM

This is an awesome showing for OKC, down just five to the Suns on the 2nd night of a road/road B2B without SGA, after a brutal loss yesterday.
Isaiah Joe has 21 (career best in a half)
Jalen Williams has 12 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists

Nice of SGA to sit tonight just so a national TV audience could find out how awesome Jalen Williams and Isaiah Joe are. – 11:05 PM

The Cam Payne revenge game. Tre Mann has to protect the ball there, but no harm no foul. Still a good first quarter given the 2nd night of a road/road b2b after a loss and no SGA. JRE did a good job communicating on D the last few possessions, need the Off. to come back around. – 10:44 PM

No Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, second night of a road back to back…
OKC up by 1 on the Suns after the 1st quarter. – 10:42 PM

This is the Jaylin Williams Al Horford game. He was fantastic at creating looks for others when he was on the floor. Really big spot for the rookie for an offense that needs help creating without SGA. – 10:28 PM

It’s not a big sample size but OKC is 3-1 without SGA this season. You figure with how much he does for them it would be a whole lot easier but this Thunder group plays hard and together.
Suns’ defense will need to tighten up. – 10:19 PM

Daigneault on SGA’s injuries:
“The hip flexor is something that he’s been dealing with, and dealing with fine, but that really flared up after last night’s game. He was in a lot of pain this morning. It just isn’t wise for him to play tonight with that.” – 9:20 PM

Daigneault said the hip flexor is something SGA has been dealing with. Sounds like the ankle soreness is from last night.
Daigneault said SGA is day-to-day. His status for Sunday night vs. Sacramento is TBD. – 8:42 PM

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is OUT tonight against the Suns, on the second night of a back to back. The Thunder are back in action on Sunday at home against the Kings, we will see if SGA can play then.
For tonight, no KD or SGA in this one. – 8:35 PM

Monty Williams described this as a “multiple effort” game because of the pace OKC plays with in both half-court offense and in transition. Called SGA one of the best players in the league and also complimented the supporting cast and its effort. – 8:28 PM
