SALT LAKE CITY – Over a single possession that spanned 50 seconds span to close the game, the Thunder had 6 cracks at a bucket that would have either tied the game or cut the Utah Jazz lead to 1 point. It was a frenetic sequence, as the Thunder relentlessly chased down loose balls and slapped out offensive rebounds, yet every single shot hit iron until Paul George’s three-pointer through massive contact by Rudy Gobert, which fell short with no whistle.
That was how the Thunder’s season ended on Friday night, in a 96-91 loss to the Jazz in Game 6 on the road, coming inches close to forcing overtime and potentially a Game 7 back in Oklahoma City.
