Booker finished with 24 points and Dillon Brooks scored 14 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter for the Suns, who ended the game on a 14-5 run and overcame an 18-point second-quarter deficit to break an eight-game losing streak to the Thunder.

Brooks turned the ball over on the next possession, and Williams tied it at 105-105 with 8.2 seconds remaining, setting up Booker's game-winner from the top of the key.
The Suns dominated the boards with a 49-29 rebounding advantage and turned 12 offensive rebounds into 14 second-chance points.
