After battling the entire game, the Utah Jazz beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 124-117. The Thunder made 19 threes and had big performances from their three stars, but Utah kept fighting.
Utah struggles to defend most teams, but especially three-point shooting teams. The Thunder had way too many open threes, and they were draining them. Oklahoma City built a double-digit lead early and kept piling on the threes. Lauri Markkanen and John Collins were scoring enough to keep Utah close. Kris Dunn was the most effective defender for the Jazz tonight. He was all over the court, racking up both steals and blocks.
