  "textContent": "PHOTOS⚡THUNDER | NBA Play-by-Play | CourtSketch Box Score\n\nThunder def. Suns, 121-109\n\n## Postgame Bolts\n\n  * In the absence of Jalen Williams, Ajay Mitchell received his first career playoff start.\n  * The first OKC bucket in Game 1: Lu Dort 3\nThe first OKC bucket in Game 2: Lu Dort 3\nThe first OKC bucket in Game 3: Lu Dort 3\n  * No JDub. No Isaiah Joe. Enter Jared McCain.\n  * OKC's trade deadline sharpshooter checked in for his first real playoff minutes to start the 2nd quarter. McCain immediately rattled off 7 points and a nice dime in his first 5 minutes.\n  * SGA took his first free throws of the game 3 minutes before halftime.\n  * Suns held a 12 to 5 free throw attempt advantage at intermission. And OKC was up 9 points. I had no idea what the Suns players were going to talk about in postgame if that held.\n  * Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 20+ points for the 12th straight playoff game.\n  * …and he got there without yet missing a single shot.\n  * Suns kept trying to make a push late in the 3rd quarter and SGA kept answering. He scored 30 points before the 4th quarter.\n  * SGA's final line was ridiculous. 42 points on 15 of 18 shooting. One of the most efficient 40 point games in the history of the NBA Playoffs. A playoff career high for SGA. And the most points scored in a 2026 NBA playoff game...\n  * ...until Ayo beat it by 1 point later that night. But does a playoff high actually count if it comes against the Denver \"defense\"?\n  * Thunder are 11-0 in the 1st Round the past 3 seasons. AI tells me that no team in NBA history has ever swept three straight 1st round series, but I have not confirmed with any human.\n  * Alex Caruso was excellent on both sides in Game 3. 13 points. 3-6 from deep. 5 rebounds. 2 stocks. +16.\n  * Chet Holmgren and Cason Wallace's box scores don't jump out but both hit big shots and flexed their soon to be All-Defensive muscles. Those two in particular smothered the Suns in the second half.\n  * Top scoring individual games in the 2026 Playoffs\n1. Ayo: 43 points\n2. SGA: 42 points\n3. Cade: 39 points\n4. SGA: 37 points\n  * Thunder are 3-0. Margins of victory: 35 points, 13 points, 12 points\n\n\n\n## One Key Takeaway\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
