Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Phoenix Suns – Full Game 2 Highlights | April 22, 2026 | NBA Playoffs

The Thunder coming off a 35-point win in Game 1 over the Suns. Lou Dort for three. Oklahoma City on the board. It's a very undersized Phoenix against an Oklahoma City team that starts double big. Brooks able to connect for midrange with favor of Oklahoma City in Game 1, a playoff record. Pass by Williams, a little off the mark, but ends up in the hands of Holmgren who hits a throw. Gilgis Alexander got the defender off his feet, can't hit on the baseline. Rebound Gillespie. Green in the open floor, bully ball against Williams, and he scores to tie the game. The guy shot 55%, so that was very atypical. And he's shaken up. He is holding his left hand right now as Gillespie hits a three. Gilgis Alexander's in some pain. And we saw that a lot. Two went to Devin Booker. That's an easy shot. He's got to make that. And scores his first basket. Started 0 for 3. Brooks will try the three and knocks it down. Dylan Brooks from deep. We had a great pregame conversation with Brooks. We'll detail a little bit later. Corner is good from Jalen Williams. Jalen Green lost the handle momentarily trying to shake SGA. Now Brooks working on Holmgren. And the fall away goes for Brooks. A hot start for Dylan Brooks. 7 of the 12 for Phoenix. And he's doing that all against Chet Holmgren. Will finish second in defensive player of the year and is elite on that end of the floor. Dort hit a three earlier and pans up. The Thunder have hit six of their last seven. Gilgis Alexander with the high back. Dort is in his jersey. Brooks short. O'Neal rebounds. Tries to kick it out. It's deflected. And now O'Neal lets it fly. That's good. A much needed hit. O'Neal with the lob. There's Malawats with the slam. It's a four point lead for Oklahoma City. Gillespie with the skip. O'Neal spot up three. It's there. Second three pointer. Something it felt like they did not do the other night. Eight nothing bench points favoring Phoenix right now. Step back. Gilgis Alexander answers with a grab. To defend Gilgis Alexander and a strip and steal. Booker ahead of the pack. Challenge but gets the layup. His spacing. They're more spread out on offense. Defender back. That's not legal Mr. Malawats. I might work for the NFL draft tomorrow but not tonight. Good swing to the corner. Joe knocks down his second straight three. Jalen Green quiet with just two points so far. Strong take. Missed the shot. Rebound Mitchell. Hardenstein went straight up. Williams with the slam in transition. First in every category that matters second or third in most others. Jalen Green stops at the elbow. And that one rolls home for his second field goal of the game. He's got four points and it's a four point game. Joe on the spot up. Not that time. He hit two threes earlier. Malawats could not secure the rebound. A second chance opportunity. Mitchell in the lane. The pointer is gone from 12 feet. He's been more settled it feels like. Green on the attack. Hangs and finishes. Back to back baskets for the former number two pick in 2021. In the half court they've made their open shots. They have pushed the pace. Like they don't want to have to face an Oklahoma City defense that's set. Certainly not the volume of OKC but that's how they've won. Great take by Williams. It's what you just said. What's the next right play? Here he is again. He'll take the three. That's the right play. He's six for six. His first three pointer. Green the other way. Nice move. Gets it to fall. Not if he picks up the dribble. Cannot close space. Pull up jumper. Good for Gildas Alexander. Thunder up seven. Three and a half to go. Gildas Alexander hangs and kicks. The fly by from Green. Three is up from home. Largest lead right now for Oklahoma City. But the dunk by Ghidorah gets it back to single digits. He'll go one on one with him here. No ball screen. SGA drives. Gets to the elbow. Now leans in. Kicks it out. Williams for three. It's good. Got his own miss. That was kept alive by Ghidorah. Now Gillespie drives underneath Ghidorah with the stop. Thunder lead the series one nothing. It shifts to Phoenix Saturday game three. SGA pulls up from the foul line and that's money. Gildas Alexander with that sway and he drills it again. Gildas hamstring injuries including one against this Phoenix team earlier this season. That was the second one. As you see Dillon Brooks hit a shot there. He had six assists in game one. He has two so far tonight. As the Suns with back-to-back buckets to get it down to eight. Brooks now with 11. Green has 14 to lead the way. Holmgren as Brooks flies by. Sets his feet and knocks down a three. On the cut, Green. That was a good pass by Ghidorah. Tremendous pass. Gildas Alexander missed the shot. Offensive rebound, Dort. Now Holmgren attacking. Collides with Gillespie. Gildas Alexander. Hangs, finds Hartenstein. They're sending a defender and a half. Good job by Hartenstein. Shot clock down to three. Green hangs on the pull-up and connects. Wow. Jalen Williams puts it on the floor. Plops for Hartenstein in the slam. And Jalen Williams. A little bit slow coming up the floor here. Brooks missed the three. Ghidorah cleans it up inside though. Williams appears to be okay. But it did take him some time to get to his feet. Have a word or two with the official. That was the first offensive rebound of the game, by the way, for Phoenix. Died inside. Green going one-on-one. Leans in. Another block from Holmgren. Free throw line, another tough shot. Booker with a pump fake and hit. Just his KC after the long rebound. Gildas Alexander will try another three. That one's good. Green puts it on the floor. Ghidorah. Nowhere to go. Gets it back out to Brooks. Brooks with seven in the quarter. Now ten in the second. And he stretched that left leg a little bit. And, you know, we talked about it. We said he was barking at the official. Gildas Alexander's got 25, matching his output for game one. It's up and a lot for Hartenstein. Brooks lines it up. Cans a three. Dylan Brooks with 20 points. Had a very good night. Brooks in transition into the chest of the defender. The fifth block of the game. Another chance for Phoenix, maybe, to get it down to 20. Try to chip away. Brooks, Joe, maybe flopped. Count the bat. Brooks is open. His three is good. It's a 17-point game. Dylan Brooks on a 9-0 run right now. He's got Phoenix back within striking distance. Gildas Alexander on the step back. Again, money for Miller. And boarded by the Suns. Brooks crashes into the defender. Gets the basket. Night one against the Kings. They were down big and came back. He was a big part of that culture change as he hangs and scores. He's got 30. Dylan Brooks has got it working. They like the matchups. He's just continuing to attack. He's got the last 13. Gildas Alexander on the other end. When you need a bat. Booker gets to the paint. Hangs. Knocks it down and a foul. Two-time All-NBA. Missed the free throw, though. Loose ball. Booker has it. Shoots again and scores again. It's defense. Inside four minutes to go. Booker to O'Neal. Lets it fly. It's good. It's a 10-point game. Got away with a hold on Chet Holmgren underneath. But you're right. Everybody else was standing. Dork. They get a second chance opportunity and make them pay with a triple. Lead back to 15. Booker from mid-range hits the pull-up.
