The Thunder’s offensive onslaught featured a balanced attack from its scorers. Chet Holmgren and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led Oklahoma with 21 and 20 points, respectively. Cason Wallace led the bench with 16 points. And the thunder received double-digit scoring from four others, including 11 from former Utah Ute Brandon Carlson.
Utah, down 43 at one point, was led by Brice Sensabaugh’s 34 points, four rebounds, and four assists. Interestingly, Svi Mykhailiuk, who was unshackled from the bench for the second time in nearly 20 games, took the opportunity to put up 16 shots, 14 of which were threes. Unfortunately for Mykhailiuk, only six of those attempts went in. Kyle Filipowski pitched in 20 points and 14 rebounds, albeit on 10-15 shooting from the field.
With this loss, the Jazz remain tied for fourth in the draft rankings. Utah continues their road-trip in New Orleans to take on the Pelicans on Tuesday.
