This is a pretty big swing game. Either the Thunder had a successful road trip going 3-2, or it’s a disappointment going 2-3. In fact, stretch it out to this run of eight of nine on the road. A loss makes OKC 5-4 in that stretch, a win 6-3, which would be very good.
The Jazz have overachieved, but they’re also a pretty good team. Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap inside will give the Thunder fits and they have capable outside shooters. The Jazz aren’t a loaded team, but they score a lot in the paint and can get easy baskets.
Utah coming in: Lost at the Pacers Tuesday.
Three Big Things
1. Turnovers.
2. Turnovers.
3. Turnovers.
Tip at 9:30 CT. Go Almost Done With This Road Trip.





i'm gonna go ahead and predict that many of the issues plaguing us as of late are going to fade out once we get Thabo back into the lineup next week.. our outside defense will no doubt improve, our rotations will get back to normal providing our starting lineup with the decisiveness it has been lacking, our second unit will be all but whole once again (as much as it can be without Maynor).. everything that has really taken a hit with the exception of a solution to the turnover issue
