OKLAHOMA CITY — After coming back from a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit, the game was right there for the Utah Jazz, who took a four-point lead in the final two minutes Tuesday night against Oklahoma City.

Then Russell Westbrook happened.

The triple-double machine scored 12 of his game-high 43 points in the final 2:05 of the game as he nearly singlehandedly willed the Thunder to a 109-106 victory at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
