PHOENIX — The Oklahoma City Thunder eliminated the Phoenix Suns at Mortgage Matchup Center on Monday, ending the Suns' playoff season after a first-round series loss. Oklahoma City completed the series decisively, showcasing defensive depth and perimeter defense that limited Phoenix across multiple games, particularly in late-clock situations and transition defense. Phoenix must now prepare for an offseason of evaluation; owner Mat Ishbia, general manager Brian Gregory and head coach Jordan Ott face scrutiny over roster construction and strategy. The Thunder advance to the Western Conference semifinals and will meet the winner of the Houston Rockets–Los Angeles Lakers matchup, with the next round to begin later this postseason.
