OKC Thunder at Utah Jazz | Game Highlights | February 6, 2024
Jazz lead the NBA in turnovers per game that’s a hard take Chad hren putting that shoulder right in a mark in for the first points of the night kind of a similar play on an aggressive take hren this time spots up for three and knocks it down oh there’s
That tra that trail big activity he said that the Thunder did a great job of problem solving on both ends of the floor pulling that out fifth largest comeback in OKC history and coming right out of the time out wasting no time Jaylen Williams gets his first
Bucket and quickly out of the timeout calming things down and getting offensive that have been very good at that on the season and he gets that a sideb a lot of tonight Mark him you know the other night you got Scotty Barnes you know maybe D this weekend as Shay
Does the Shay magic gets on the board for two out coming back drawing up a play and as you said this is what sga’s been s’s got his first two ston they caught on the Baseline it’s a Utah team that is very good at scoring inside gun trying to get there right now
Might have been affected by the block of hen low marking in with a put back but no slow start on the offensive end done from the outside he eyes the three no good and it’s fono again but a block Inside by Jay will says no Jay will already racking up the
Blocks this year more than he had all of last year dangerous pass J drives on Mark it in help defense came over and it’s able to finish over the top lot of contact too too much contact you at some point in time officials got to put here in that
Whistle the cut gidy nice pass SGA coming off a career high 14 assists on Sunday you expect them to drive nope he can find his man too gy on the Finish joining L Dort and SJ Dort KN in hangs in the air takes a little bump
From Walker Kesler and is going to go to the line and that was reminiscent of the big finish that he had late in the game on Sunday just under three a game how he did this little Hang Time Utah number three going right behind Marin
In he’s trying to pass got it back out to the perimeter tough off balance shot looked like SJ might have swiped at it and got a piece one Williams to another G Jordan Clarkson over to fonio he steps into the three offensive rebound good deflection by Jay will and this is an
Opportunity for the Thunder to run too because the the Jazz would would put a lot of bodies that ball had to be perfect for markon to make that play Shay counted in a foul and that’s what the two seven-footers with one hand by marinan and here he is right there amongst the
Trees minute here the first quarter Cas Wallace in the game good to see him after leaving the game on Sunday and not returning now he’s trying to defend Clarkson and forces the steal Jen finished it off Jang bounces floats it and scores separation between shot in game Clarkson dribbled it off of his
Knee and the tap over and Sea’s got a little time here to close out the quarter himself it’s just a smart play by a smart player tough shot fading away and that’s four in a row for to close out the quarter SGA got hot in the bottom half
Of that first quarter but starts the second on the bench there normal Jay dub Chad home gr minutes Usman Jang from the outside Usman Jen hot here in the first half that’s eight points and one from H well he also did a like a dribble handoff to
Jay dub on that play and then he quickly got away from it just it is so tough to be an All-Star at the Western Conference man so hard nice move Jaylen Williams that’s his play bounced right off of oen as George quickly up the floor George bounces off of Jen but that time
Jen playing good defense and just ate him up he blocked the ball off of his body take a look at this folks not trying to do too much hrin got caught almost travel didn’t Wiggins tough shot on the turnaround he going to get the bounce automatic Aaron coming in and making a
Shot meic drives in looking for the outlet Jen gave it right back to him meic open nobody in front of him offensive rebound Chad hren right in front of the rim that’s just beautiful timing I believe the foul to J how about that just giving him a dose of the dose
This is a big time offensive rebounding team the Jazz are thought that was a big strong point for the Thunder the other night against the Raptors those transition points jdub probing floats it up and there’s another friendly hop boy jayb he’s got such a sweet stroke it’s one of those Strokes you
Think’s going in every time this is a good passing here by the Thunder just to create a nice little rhythm back to the game you know you see that’s good defense man but he he didn’t go to the basket that time coach he stopped and popped on
Me now ston once again trying to go with this time gidy non-contested layups he has to dribble through one guy face another guy and then have some remarkable finish at the end Clarkson the Miss out of the pack it’s jdub and jdub elevates and detonates at The Rim
This was a mission from jdub right about there yeah absolutely got it in one paint and went to the other paint and flush it uses of the three-point shot get to the free throw line hit in the mid-range really picked up Midway through the second and now Josh giddy
Cans his second three from D he has been decisive taking those two three-point shots Shay tough Fade Away done all over him and SGA continues what he was doing in the first half and that’s knocking down mid-range shots basball but how about this this is not a
Clipper this is just a tough shot nice finish about Collins two Defenders on SGA that leaves home wide open straight away on the three man he he was just really making good decisions with the basketball Firs that ball back dun has not been able to
Keep sgaa in front of him hren yet again from the outside and Chad hren is feeling it from Deep that’s his 4-3 Mark dagal often says it comes down to creating advantages could have been able to create advantages that have led to open looks there’s another one JB set
It up on a platter in home GR puts it down these two that’s beautiful and and the Jazz are like going okay well you know you you know pick your poison you got to give us something on that play connection that continues to grow Jaylen Williams and Chad hren and
Sexon that time got tied up and met that big hand of Chad hren and some change Coming Love of top good defense Jen hren boy he’s sniffed out that alley oh how did he do that a foul that time man had hacked on the arm M lost his balance Thunder maintain
Possession Wiggins off the catch a and Wiggins drills a three and it’s a big one and just like that you you’re only down through there is Utah’s big run Jada up top to Wiggins that Wiggins three to kind of settle things down nice Cut inside as J
Finds a little space as kenri Williams set him up how about this this is coming out of a timeout nice little feed by kenri over to him meic driving hard caught in the air thought he had an outlet nobody there Collins oh and that pass intended
For SE and he was open instead Clarkson tried to set up that L pass and it got busted up somehow got that pass out to meic he’ll snap it back over to Wiggins and Wiggins once again is another Thunder player getting that hop off the rim yeah that’s what Shooters do from
OIC on that play oh and the step back three Jaylen Williams unconscious from the outside five minutes gone by here in this fourth quarter nice swipe down SGA came over and then he got fouled by Collins well that was a sneaky play on the backside just you’re right L A Sneak on
That one then great finish the last last time dun his three is going to hop up off the top of the backboard Kessler was stripped by Dort looked like he had the offensive rebound clean good defense but I thought that the shot by George basically bail
Them out the back to- back threes he’s just got to finish the play now and get those stops that’s trying to get it into Market in who is defended by dor fono he’s been totally dormant and throws it away turns it over and that’ll do
It so it’s Utah this time with the shot making down the stretch much like the Thunder had

3 things that led to the loss tonight at Utah: 1. Jazz dominated points in the paint, 60-36… Thunder shot terribly at the free throw line, 12/18 for 67 percent and 3. Jazz crushed Thunder on the boards, 48-32… Can't win an NBA getting dominated in the paint and rebounds.. We have to address that problem hopefully on trade deadline.. especially against physical teams in the playoffs like the Lakers, Timberwolves, Nuggets and Warriors.. Glad that we have 3 days off before heading to Dallas to play Dallas on Saturday!!!
second
Time to trade for a big who can rebound
good win for the jazz. giddeyup okc!
The biggest problem lately has been that we start to give up these huge runs again…that‘s the old Thunder kind of! Hate seeing that! It happened in about 8 of the last 10 games…today it happened twice!
We need big guy
Mark rolled out the worst lineup I’ve ever seen midway through the 3rd
No rim protection on D
No spacing on O
That’s where they lost the game.
