Anatomy of a comeback: How the Thunder beat the Jazz

With 8:34 left in the third quarter of Thunder-Jazz Game 5 on Wednesday night, Jae Crowder hit a 3-point shot that gave Utah a 71-46 lead. The Thunder, trailing three games to one in the best-of-seven series, appeared lifeless. But over the next eight minutes, OKC outscored Utah 32-7 to catch the Jazz before the end of the quarter, and the Thunder eventually finished off a 107-99 victory, one of the greatest comebacks in NBA playoff history.

In those eight minutes, the Thunder made 11 of 15 shots, four of five 3-pointers and six of seven foul shots.
