The Utah Jazz have shown they can compete with the Oklahoma City Thunder, though defeating the Northwest Division leaders remains a chore.
That task has been considerably more difficult in Oklahoma City.
The Jazz attempt to halt an eight-game road losing streak in the series when the teams square off for the second time in three days Sunday night.
Oklahoma City (15-8) earned its fourth straight win and eighth in 10 games with a 94-90 triumph in Friday's opener of this home-and-home set. The Thunder improved to 15-5 in their last 20 matchups with Utah (10-11), including a 111-89 victory in Salt Lake City on Nov.
