Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a playoff-high 42 points as Oklahoma City rallied from an early deficit and stayed unbeaten in first-round games under Mark Daigneault.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will be aiming for a third consecutive first-round playoff series sweep when they take the court Monday night in Phoenix.

OKC is one game away from taking the series, but they can't stop now.

City and team have risen together since former mayor Mick Cornett and businessman Clay Bennett helped bring the Thunder to the city, which is now on the map as an NBA champion. In 2028, two Summer Olympic events – canoe slalom and softball – will be held here. That same year, the Thunder will get a new arena.

The Phoenix Suns could once again be down two starters in Game 4.
