The Phoenix Suns lost 119-84 to the OKC Thunder in Game 1 of their playoff series, with Phoenix players expressing frustration over the Thunder's physical defense and a lack of consistent foul calls. The Thunder dominated the paint and capitalized on 19 Suns turnovers, scoring 34 points. Phoenix's Devin Booker led with 23 points and six rebounds. The loss marked the first time Jalen Green had played for the Suns since joining them from Houston in a deal that led to Kevin Durant's transfer to the Thunder. Despite this, Phoenix's Oso Ighodaro acknowledged the team's need to improve on their performance. Game 2 is set to begin on Wednesday night.
