Apr 11, 2025; Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; Oklahoma City Thunder guard Isaiah Joe (11) tries to past the ball against the Utah Jazz during the second quarter at Delta Center. Mandatory Credit: Chris Nicoll-Imagn Images Aaron Wiggins scored 35 and Isaiah Joe drained 10 3-pointers for 32 points as the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Utah Jazz 145-111 Friday night in Salt Lake City.
With both teams relying on reserves, the Thunder (67-14) shot the lights out en route to a third straight win. They hit 56.0 percent from the field and made 24 of 53 3-pointers — Joe nailing 10 of 14 from deep — to go with 41 assists while improving to 4-0 versus Utah this season.
Svi Mykhailiuk registered a career-high with 27 points and five 3-pointers off the bench for the Jazz (17-64), who were coming off a rare win.
Utah, which went 17-for-63 from 3-point territory, lost for the 20th time in 22 games.
Jaylin Williams tallied a triple-double for the Thunder with 15 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Kenrich Williams added 18 points, Adam Flagler scored 17 and Utah native Branden Carlson chipped in nine points in front of his hometown fans.
Along with being the home finale for Utah, the game was the final one in retiring Jazz P.A. announcer Dan Roberts’ 46 seasons. Roberts began announcing games in 1979 when the Jazz moved from New Orleans to Salt Lake City.
Brice Sensabaugh netted 25 points in the Jazz’s loss while Kyle Filipowski (15 points, 13 rebounds) and Oscar Tshiebwe (10 points, 14 rebounds) each notched double-doubles.
Wiggins hit a 3-pointer on the game’s first possession and the Thunder were off and running.
OKC opened on a 12-2 run. After the Jazz crept back within 29-24 three minutes later, the Thunder ended the quarter on a 17-10 surge.
Wiggins scored 14 in the first quarter to boost Oklahoma City to 46 points, tying its highest-point total for a quarter this season. The Thunder hit 17 of 25 shots with nine threes while taking a 12-point lead.
The offenses cooled off in the second quarter. OKC went into the locker room up 73-58 after hitting 14 of 30 3s and dishing out 23 assists compared to four turnovers.
The Thunder went on the attack again to begin the second half, going on an 8-0 run to seize a 90-64 lead on Joe’s sixth 3-pointer.

Chelsea spending nears £300m as Garnacho signs from Man Utd
Chelsea have signed Alejandro Garnacho in a £40m transfer from Manchester United, taking their summer spend to nearly £300m.The 21-year-old winger becomes Chelsea's ninth arrival, joining new attackers Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Estevao and Jamie Gittens, and increases their outlay to £296.8m. Chelsea, though, have recouped £314.4m in sales with 26 players exiting the club either in permanent transfers or on loan.A compromise over Garnacho's valuation had to be reached as United valued him at £50m, which was more than Chelsea were prepared to pay.United negotiated the fee up from an initial Chelsea offer of £25m and are understood to feel it is a good, pragmatic deal, delivering their largest sale fee for five years. They also believe it is a good solution for the player, who has been pushing strongly to leave. The deal, which includes a 10 per […]

Fantasy football 2025 rankings, draft prep: Optimal QB, RB, WR and TE picks, cheat sheets, ADP, NFL tiers
Jordan Love's preseason hand surgery may adjust the plans of some with their 2025 Fantasy football drafts, as he's already one known for having slow starts to a season. Over his career, Love has a 30:21 touchdown-to-interception ratio over the first nine games of the season, compared to a 30:4 ratio over the last eight games. Coupling that with his thumb injury, it may make sense to follow the Fantasy football advice of not drafting Love and then maybe trading for him midseason when his stock is at its lowest. If you're banking on Love to be your QB1 over the second half of the year, then you'll still need someone to keep your team afloat until you reach that point. Just as the Packers' QB has established himself as someone who gets better as the season goes on, others are […]

The All-Pro defender has reportedly agreed to a four-year, $180 million deal, including $120 million guaranteed, that will keep him in Green Bay long-term.Parsons' college coach, Penn State's James Franklin, believes Parsons will thrive with the Packers. Franklin told CBS Sports that he's spoken with Parsons since the trade and caught up with Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley as well. "I've had good conversations with Micah. We're still very close. We text or talk often," Franklin said on CBS Sports HQ. "I actually talked to the defensive coordinator at [the] Packers [Jeff Hafley] the other day. We had a conversation after everything went down." Franklin had high […]
