Jazz vs Thunder Recap

On Tuesday, February 12, 2013, the Utah Jazz beat the defending Western Conference champions (the Oklahoma City Thunder), 109-94. No team in the Western Conference was hotter than the Thunder going into this game, but the Utah Jazz busted their streak. Al Jefferson led the Jazz with 23 points, but the story was the Jazz bench, who scored 49 points and played a lot of the second half against Oklahoma City. DeMarre Carroll, Derrick Favors, and Alec Burks all scored in double figures off the bench. This was a great win for Utah. Here is the video and the box score:

The Utah Jazz will go to Minnesota on Wednesday to try to get their 30th win of the season right before the All-Star break, and that could be a tough game. Hopefully, Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap can get going early, and the Jazz can get a win in Utah on Wednesday. Thank you for reading, and here are some pictures:
