PHOENIX – From the sideline, Thunder Head Coach Billy Donovan yelled “talk!” to his players down on the far end of the floor. There was a lot of direction from the sideline during Sunday night’s 114-100 loss to the Suns, but it was clear this was one of those nights during the slog of the NBA schedule where a team didn’t have its fastball.
From the outset, the Thunder let a young Phoenix team get confident and see the ball go in the basket with fast break points and second chance points, then paid the price in the second half.
