OKLAHOMA CITY — The Jazz had a series win in their grasp.
With 8:34 left in the 3rd, Jae Crowder hit a wide-open three to put the Jazz up 25 points, a comfortable lead to end the series. From there, the Thunder pulled off the seemingly impossible, going on a 61-28 run to force a Game 6 with a 107-99 win.
OKC guard Russell Westbrook caught fire. Westbrook finished with 45 points, 15 rebounds, and seven assists in a remarkable performance that carried the Thunder back from the brink.
Paul George added 34 points for OKC. The Jazz went to Donovan Mitchell repeatedly down the stretch, who scored 23 points. Thanks to a strong first-half performance, Jae Crowder led the Jazz in scoring with 27.
