Did Grayson Allen’s ejection and the absence of stars Devin Booker and Jalen Green seal the Suns’ fate, or are the Thunder simply on another level? The Suns are out of the NBA Cup, prompting fans to ask: Is this just a blip, or the start of a troubling trend? Benjamin Garcia spotlights the Suns’ turnover woes, lack of shot-making, and Oklahoma City's relentless transition offense. Key takeaways include Chet Holmgren and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s elite production, the Suns’ missed opportunities, and the psychological test of bouncing back against the Golden State Warriors. With the Thunder chasing historic win records and Phoenix searching for answers, this episode offers candid insight on team identity, competitive resilience, and what it takes to return from an embarrassing loss. 04:17 Suns' Progress Despite Big Loss 08:08 Suns vs NBA’s Best Team 10:50 Suns' Redemption Against Warriors 17:07 Thunder vs. Suns: Big vs. Little 18:04 Thunder's Edge: Shot Makers 21:19 Thunder Outpace Suns Early 27:05 Suns Struggle Without Devin Booker 28:39 Devin Booker’s Impact Explained  📲 Follow Locked On Suns on TikTokLocked On Suns https://www.tiktok.com/@lockedonphxsuns?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc 📲 Follow Locked On Suns on InstagramLocked On Suns https://www.instagram.com/lockedonphxsuns/ 📲 Follow Locked On Suns on XLocked On Suns https://x.com/LockedOnPHXSuns Ben Garcia https://x.com/BenGarciaShow Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOSuns?sid=YouTube Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
