NBA Playoffs 2018: Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Utah Jazz Game 4 live stream: Watch online
By Jason Patt
The Utah Jazz won a crucial Game 3 at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and now the Jazz have eyes on a 3-1 series advantage in Monday’s Game 4.
The Utah Jazz trailed by 12 points midway through the second quarter in Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder before closing the half on a 25-8 run to take a five-point lead into halftime. The Jazz then controlled the second half to earn a 115-102 victory, giving them a 2-1 series lead and a chance to take full control with a win in Monday’s Game 4.
Ricky Rubio recorded his first playoff triple-double with 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists as part of a balanced attack for Utah. All five Jazz starters scored in double figures, with rookie Donovan Mitchell and Ruby Gobert both notching double-doubles.
After putting up 22 points and 11 rebounds in Game 3, Mitchell is now averaging 25.7 points and nine boards in his first playoff series. He’s shooting a tick under 45 percent from the field and making a third of his 3-pointers.
Russell Westbrook nearly had another triple-double in Game 3, but he had a poor game overall. He scored 14 points on 5-of-17 shooting and turned the ball over eight times in 37 minutes, which helped result in a team-worst minus-25 plus-minus.
Paul George led the Thunder with 23 points as he battles through a hip injury. George is the Thunder’s leading scorer thus far in the postseason with a scoring average of 25.7 points per game. Westbrook is down at 20.7 points per game and is shooting just 36.1 percent from the field in the series.

The Jazz have the momentum and home-court advantage on their side. If Utah can continue to neutralize Westbrook, it will have a golden chance of taking full control of this series. The 2017 MVP is due for an explosion, though, so watch out for that in Game 4.
