The Thunder beat the Suns on Wednesday to take care of business and go up 2–0 in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. The defending champions got 37 points and nine assists from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and, as some people might suggest is usual, a little help from the officials.
Phoenix’s Devin Booker was on the wrong end of a few questionable calls during the game that left the announcers confused. Doris Burke in particular was left searching for answers on multiple occasions. The first one came in the second quarter when Booker was called for an offensive foul that was upheld on review because it was deemed an “unnatural move.”
