After a 131–101 win over the Utah Jazz, the Oklahoma City Thunder reached their 15th victory of the season, continuing their incredible run with only one loss through the first 24 games.
For this win, the Thunder did not even need Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who was held out due to a left shoulder injury.

However, a team with the quality of Oklahoma City had no trouble handling the struggling Jazz, pouring in 131 points even without the league’s best player from last season.
In the absence of the Canadian superstar, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams took the lead with 25 points each. Aaron Wiggins added 19 points, while Branden Carlson tied his season-high with 13.
Oklahoma City was on fire from long range, shooting 58 percent from three and knocking down 21 triples.
On the other side, Utah was also without their top player Lauri Markkanen, who missed the game due to illness.
Given the circumstances, Kyle Filipowski stepped up with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Walter Clayton Jr. and Taylor Hendricks each contributed 20 points.
The Thunder’s dominance was evident from the start — they scored a massive 45 points in the first quarter alone, building a 25-point advantage after just 12 minutes.
From there, it was simply a matter of finishing the job and adding another win to their record.
