The Oklahoma City Thunder had one of the weirder blowouts in their 144-112 win over the Utah Jazz on Friday. They improved to 2-0 in group play in the 2025 NBA Cup West Group A.
After trailing by 18 points, the Thunder slowly mounted a comeback. An eye-popping 33-4 third-quarter run turned this game upside down. They led by as many as 36 points in one of the wilder game scripts ever.
