Game Recap
Jordan Goodwin's 26-point performance carried Phoenix in a low-scoring affair, but it wasn't enough to push the combined total past the market line. The Suns edged Oklahoma City 108–105, with the two teams combining for 213 points—16.5 short of the 229.5 pregame total. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.
The game's trajectory told the story of a second-half explosion constrained by earlier lethargy. The teams combined for just 91 points in the first half, with Phoenix scoring only 42 through two quarters while Oklahoma City managed 49. The third quarter loosened the lid slightly—56 combined points—but the fourth quarter erupted, delivering 66 combined points as both offenses finally found rhythm. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 25 points and 6 assists, while Jalen Williams added 23 points and 7 assists. For Phoenix, Devin Booker chipped in 24 points and 9 assists alongside Goodwin's team-high output. Chet Holmgren's 18 points and 9 rebounds anchored Oklahoma City's interior, and Dillon Brooks contributed 22 points for the Suns.
Despite the fourth-quarter surge, the first-half drag proved decisive. Phoenix's recent form averaged 112.4 points allowed per game, while Oklahoma City came in at 119.3 scored per game—both figures suggested higher volume. The earlier head-to-head meetings between these teams this season totaled 227 and 242 points, setting a higher baseline. The defensive tone established early held just enough through the final frame to keep the game well under the market projection.
