The Oklahoma City Thunder didn’t need the reigning MVP to destroy the Utah Jazz in a 131-101 win on Sunday. They led by as many as 42 points in the lopsided contest that was over pretty quickly.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander wasn’t needed as he sat out with injury. Chet Holmgren had 25 points and nine rebounds. Jalen Williams had 25 points and eight assists. Four other Thunder players scored double-digit points as only 11 players suited up.
