Oklahoma City dominated Utah 131–101 on December 7 at Delta Center, with Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren each scoring 25 points to lead the Thunder's offensive explosion. OKC shot 58 percent from the field and made 21 three-pointers, significantly outpacing Utah's 47.1 percent shooting and 12 made threes. The Thunder's efficiency advantage was stark: they posted a 129.8 offensive rating while holding Utah to 99.7, a 30-point swing that reflected their dominance. Oklahoma City's first quarter set the tone immediately, erupting for 45 points and never allowing Utah back into the game. The Thunder's 32 assists and 44 rebounds demonstrated balanced ball movement and control on the glass, while Utah's 17 turnovers and 99.7 offensive rating underscored a sluggish offensive night. The final margin of 30 points exceeded the Vegas total line of 233.5, driven largely by OKC's suffocating defense and three-point barrage. This win solidifies Oklahoma City's standing as a conference contender with elite offensive firepower.
