Koby Brea added 20 points for Phoenix (45-37), which was locked into seventh place in the Western Conference and did not play any starters. The Suns will face either Portland or the Los Angeles Clippers in a play-in game Tuesday night.
Brandon Carlson scored a career-high 26 points and Payton Sandfort added 23 for NBA-best Oklahoma City (64-18), which lost two straight games for the first time since late January.

Phoenix took control early, outscoring the Thunder 21-0 for a 26-5 lead. The Suns led 70-52 at the break behind 18 points from Dunn and 16 from Bouyea. Coffey's 8-footer at the buzzer gave the Suns a 104-77 lead after three quarters.
