On December 12, the NBA regular season was in full swing. In the game between the Thunder and the Jazz, the Thunder played at home against the Jazz, who have been in poor form recently. The Thunder further cemented their standings in the West with a hard-fought overtime win over the Warriors in their last game, placing them firmly in second place in the West with a 14-7 record. The Jazz, on the other hand, suffered two straight losses, updating their record to 7-15 and remaining in the bottom four of the West. Markkanen, Kessler and Collins were sidelined with injuries, adding to the Jazz's woes. Once the game began, the Thunder quickly got into the groove, with Alexander and Keady teaming up to open the game 8-0. Fontechiori's offense responded briefly, but the Jazz's offense lacked momentum, scoring just 20 points in the first quarter. Alexander continued to exert his power on the offensive end, leading the team to expand their advantage. At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder established a 14-point lead. Back in the second quarter, the Jazz's offense picked up, but the Thunder's firepower continued unabated and they were always able to respond in a timely manner. As the margin grew, the Jazz responded with a 9-0 spurt at the end of the game, and at halftime, the Thunder still led by 14 points. After the rematch, the Jazz's offense was powered off again, and the Thunder continued their offensive firepower in the first quarter, scoring 23 points in a single quarter. At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder had a 37-point lead. Coming up in the final quarter, both teams sent substitute lineups.
