Oklahoma City defeated Utah 146–111 on April 5 at Paycom Center, a 35-point rout that saw the Thunder's offense operate at peak efficiency while the Jazz's defense crumbled. Chet Holmgren led Oklahoma City with 21 points, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 20 in a balanced scoring attack. The Thunder shot 58.7 percent from the field and made 24 three-pointers, translating to a dominant 137.7 offensive rating that far exceeded the Vegas total of 239.5. Utah's Benson Sensabaugh scored 34 points and Kalkidis Filipowski contributed 20, but the Jazz managed only 43 percent shooting and 14 made threes, unable to keep pace. Oklahoma City's defense held Utah to a 102.2 offensive rating while forcing 16 turnovers, and the Thunder's balanced attack—40 assists on 146 points—showcased their depth. The decisive margin came in the second quarter, when Oklahoma City outscored Utah 35–29 to establish control. This victory underscores Oklahoma City's playoff positioning and reinforces their status as a Western Conference threat.
