Lockdown interior defense down the stretch sealed it for OKC.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have endured a roller-coaster ride of a game and soundly defeated the Utah Jazz in overtime, 104-98. It seemed as if the Jazz were in control for the entire duration of the first half, as they built a 13 point lead. The Thunder were struggling to secure offensive rebounds, turned the ball over, and were giving up too many mismatches. But OKC emerged into the second half strong, going on a 25-7 Westbrook and Durant fueled run.
Unfortunately, the Thunder's bench wasn't up to the task of defending the lead between the third and fourth quarters.
