Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 22 points, while Josh Giddey and Aaron Wiggins added 17 and 15 points respectively to help their team earn victory after three consecutive defeats.
Kris Dunn scored 22 points and had eight assists and seven rebounds for the Utah team, which was severely weakened due to injuries. They succumbed to a defeat, which puts them out of contention for the postseason playoffs.
It was a pretty equal game up until the third period when the Jazz managed to lower the deficit to a single point at 75-74. However, from that point onwards, the Oklahoma’s patience paid off as they cracked open Utah’s stubborn defense to record a 19-2 streak, which pretty much put the match to bed.
The Thunder currently sit 10th in the Western Conference, a half game against Dallas with one game remaining.
