SALT LAKE CITY -- With the Oklahoma City Thunder in full desperation mode, the first six minutes of Game 4 were downright heated, and even in an eventual blowout, didn't slow up much from there.
The Utah Jazz handled business 113-96 to take a 3-1 series lead behind 33 points from Donovan Mitchell, but there was plenty of extracurricular activity as a total of seven technical fouls called, and one almost inevitable ejection. The tone was set back on Saturday after Game 3 when Russell Westbrook guaranteed he was going to shut down Ricky Rubio.
