The Thunder shot 56.3% from the field and made 16 of 30 3-point attempts, maintaining their position in the race for the best record in the Western Conference.
Kevin Durant led the Suns with 26 points, but the Suns struggled to keep pace in the Western Conference, aiming to avoid the Play-In Tournament.
