Jefferson helps Jazz cool off Thunder 109-94

No team was hotter in the Western Conference before Tuesday night than the Oklahoma City Thunder.

But the Utah Jazz delivered what was essentially a cold shower for Oklahoma City by outhustling, outplaying and outrebounding the defending Western Conference champions. Utah stunningly routed the Thunder 109-94, snapping their four-game winning streak in which it won each game by more than 20 points.

The Thunder were never in position to blow the Jazz out though. Their biggest lead was five points, and they trailed the entire second half.

Al Jefferson had 23 points and seven rebounds, while Paul Millsap had 18 points and 10 boards to lead the Jazz. Kevin Durant led Oklahoma City with 33 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals. Russell Westbrook had 22 points and five assists.
