OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 38 points and rebounds on his regreso luego de una ausencia de cinco partidos y el Thunder de Oklahoma City estuvo en ventaja todo el camino superando 129-119 al Jazz de Utah el domingo por the night.
El novato Jalen Williams agregó la mayor cantidad de unidades en su carrera con 32 al acertar 12 de 15 tiros y Josh Giddey solamente felló un triple con 24 puntos, nueve rebotes y nueve asistencias por Oklahoma City, que superó al Jazz por segunda vez en tres days. The Thunder took the win Friday, 130-103.
Utah trailed by double digits in the final 42 minutes on Sunday. Jordan Clarkson led Utah with 18 points, but missed all five of his 3-point attempts. The Jazz were without All-Star Lauri Markkanen, who sat with what the team reported was lower back strain.
The Jazz scored just 2 of their first 17 field goals and missed all nine of their 3-pointers, allowing Oklahoma City to run away with a 28-10 lead with 2:44 left in the first quarter.
Gilgeous-Alexander scored 13 of his points on 5-for-7 shooting during the quarter.
