The\u00a0Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>\u00a0will host the\u00a0Utah Jazz<\/a>\u00a0on Sunday. This will be the fourth matchup of the season between the two squads. OKC has won the first three, with its\u00a0latest victory<\/a>\u00a0on Jan. 7.<\/p>\n The Thunder (61-16) have won four in a row. They absolutely destroyed the Los Angeles Lakers in a\u00a0139-96 win<\/a>\u00a0on Thursday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 28 points and seven assists in three quarters.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Jazz (21-57) have gone all out to tank. They’ve dropped eight in a row. They had a 140-106 loss to the Houston Rockets on Friday. Cody Williams had 27 points and 11 rebounds amid his best stretch of basketball.<\/p>\n For live updates of the Thunder’s game against the Jazz, please regularly check back to this post:<\/p>\n Half: Thunder 75, Jazz 54<\/p>\n This half went as expected. Gilgeous-Alexander, Holmgren and Williams have scored a combined 37 points. OKC is shooting 63% from the field. Meanwhile, not much to say about the Jazz. They just don’t have the talent to keep up.

Jazz call a timeout. Second unit ballooning OKC’s lead to 20 points for the first time tonight.<\/p>\n End 1Q: Thunder 40, Jazz 25<\/p>\n So far, everything is going as expected. Gilgeous-Alexander has an easy 10 points and four assists. What a smart defensive play by Mitchell to end the frame. Just stonewalled Chandler as he was ready to go full court for one last look. He turned it over. Wallace hits the floater at the buzzer.<\/p>\n 1Q, 6:24 left: Thunder 16, Jazz 10<\/p>\n Pretty good start for the Thunder. Offense has predictably been easy. Plenty of lob attempts to Hartenstein. The Jazz have shot the ball well so far, too. Plus, OKC has committed some lazy turnovers.<\/p>\n
