Thunder Rallies from 25-Point Deficit, Stays Alive with Game 5 Win Over Utah

The Thunder had its back against the wall on Wednesday night in Oklahoma City, trailing 3-1 and needing a win to survive in the first round versus Utah. Although the Jazz were able to build a 25-point lead in the third quarter, Russell Westbrook and Paul George combined for 89 points and led OKC alllll the way back for a 107-99 victory.

Utah couldn’t have asked for a better start, as they came out scorching from long distance. Jae Crowder came off the bench and hit 4-of-5, Joe Ingles went 3-of-5, and the Jazz wrapped up the first quarter shooting 70 percent from downtown.
