The Oklahoma City Thunder came away with an impressive 111-99 win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday.

Playing a back-and-fourth game where neither team led by more than eight points during the first three quarters, the Thunder utilized a 31-13 fourth-quarter advantage to secure the road win.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams led the way with a combined 66 points. Gilgeous-Alexander had 35 points on 13-of-22 shooting and Williams scored a season-high 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting.

The Suns were led by Kevin Durant, who had 28 points and nine rebounds. Phoenix was without Devin Booker, who missed the game with a calf strain.

Let’s look at some of the best photos from the Thunder’s 12-point win over the Suns.
