The loss dropped Phoenix to 3-1, but it didn’t knock them out of the competition. Thanks to doing what so few teams have managed this season against OKC — namely, not getting blown out — the Suns wrapped up group play with a +31 point differential, which was large enough to edge out the Memphis Grizzlies (who also went 3-1, but finished +14) for the West’s wild-card spot.

That cemented the conference’s final four, setting up a Thunder-Suns rematch in the 1-vs.-4 game, and a very intriguing matchup between the high-scoring Los Angeles Lakers — the winners of West Group B — and a Spurs team that’s gone an impressive 8-3 since losing superstar center Victor Wembanyama to a left calf strain.
