The Oklahoma City Thunder opened the 2024 NBA Cup with a 99-83 win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday. In an ugly baby contest between two depleted squads, OKC blanketed Devin Booker as he was without Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. The Thunder are now 1-0 in ...

"I thought we played with great energy. I thought we did a great job of prioritizing Booker and making it difficult on him with denials and ball pressure and a crowd on him," Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said.

When one of many approached him midway through the second quarter of the Thunder’s 99-83 win on Friday in the NBA Cup opener, the Suns guard conceded the ball.  Booker’s possessions felt possessed.
