Ace Bailey with a LeBron-esque chasedown block.
He always clearly had the chops to be a good help defender, but his growth in that regard from game one to game 79 is cool to see.

Similar to the first quarter against Houston, the Jazz have more shot attempts but are trailing as they are shooting just 38%.
OKC has 68/57/100 splits.

Death, taxes, and Svi Mykhailiuk shooting off the catch.

The @utahjazz trail the @okcthunder 40-25 after one.
The Thunder shot almost 70 percent from the floor int he first quarter. #TakeNote pic.twitter.com/jApgcOW5Ku

Without a traditional point guard on the floor, the @utahjazz offense is struggling to keep pace with the @ockthunder.

Contrary to some theories leading into this game, it does not appear that the Thunder are throwing anything.

Cody Williams becoming a mid-range sniper was not on my Utah Jazz 25-26 bingo card.

I’ve liked this first half from Brice Sensabaugh.
Not his highest scoring game of the year, but he’s been really smart with his drives to the rim, and he’s finishing really well.
He’s not been afraid of the Thunder’s defense.

Third Quarter
Shai hit his 20 points and was swiftly pulled out in the third quarter. Makes sense.

The @utahjazz are down 108-81 heading into the final quarter against the @okcthunder.

Fourth Quarter
At some point, these games, rotations, and final scores are going to feel like a fever dream for Jazz fans.
Not unlike these Thunder outings from 5 seasons ago. pic.twitter.com/pSOJPhkhPb

Three dunks in three possessions for former Ute Branden Carlson. That sums up this game well, I’d say.
— Chandler Holt (@CHoltSports) April 6, 2026
Beautiful baseline euro from Kennedy Chandler.
The late-season looks for the 10-day guys have been cool to see. Bez Mbeng, Andersson Garcia, and Chandler were all fun to watch in their own ways.

The @utahjazz fall to the @okcthunder 146-111.
