Some things are inevitable.
It was inevitable that the Utah Jazz’s franchise-record home winning streak would someday come to an end, as it did Monday with a disappointing defeat to the Wizards.
It was inevitable, too, that the league-leading Jazz would bounce back quickly.
Enter the Oklahoma City Thunder, a rebuilding squad and owners of the league’s worst net rating.
The Jazz were without Royce O’Neale (rest), Jordan Clarkson (sprained right ankle) and Joe Ingles (sore left knee). They fell behind double-digits early, as OKC built up a 17-point lead in the first half.
Didn’t matter.
