But in the final minutes of the quarter, a comeback from the Suns pulled them back within striking distance, waking up the Phoenix crowd in the process. The Thunder managed to keep the scoreline just out of the Suns’ reach throughout much of the fourth, even as Phoenix desperately tried to keep its season alive.
