All winning streaks eventually end. The Utah Jazz had their six-game streak broken by the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 134-129 battle.

Utah dug a hole for themselves early, allowing the Thunder to build a big lead in the first quarter. Oklahoma City has a high-octane offense with one of the best players in the league, surrounded by secondary weapons. The Jazz had a tough time defending them, getting down by as many as 19 points. They spent the rest of the game trying to climb out of the hole.

The Thunder made the game very difficult for Lauri Markkanen, putting physicality and length on him at all times.
