The Russell Westbrook Inquisition Will Have to Wait

The Oklahoma City Thunder will live to die another day. Looking like they were headed for a summer full of questions, the Thunder earned a temporary reprieve Wednesday night, completing an epic comeback against the Jazz in a 107–99 win to avoid elimination. Utah still leads the first-round matchup 3–2, but it blew a prime opportunity to close out the series. Down 25 points early in the third quarter, OKC stormed back to tie the game at 78 headed into the final frame. The Thunder finished the game on a 61–28 run, fueled largely by the incredible play of Russell Westbrook.
