Thunder Snap Jazz's Winning Streaks in 134-129 Victory
Gilgeous-Alexander and Williams Lead Thunder to Victory Despite Recent Injury Concerns
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 31 points and Jalen Williams added 27, including 11 in the fourth quarter, to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 134-129 victory over the Utah Jazz, snapping the Jazz's six-game winning streak.
- Collin Sexton scored 31 and Lauri Markkanen added 26 for the Jazz, whose nine-game home winning streak was also stopped.
- The game was the Jazz's first since the unexpected death of Golden State Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojevic, which led to the postponement of their scheduled game against the Warriors.
- The Thunder's victory came despite Gilgeous-Alexander's recent knee injury, which had left him listed as 'questionable' before the game.
- The Thunder are currently the second-best team in the NBA Western Conference with a 27-13 record, while the Jazz are ninth with a 22-20 record.
