  • 10/12/2019

The Oklahoma City Thunder coasted past the Utah Jazz 104-90 on Tuesday (NZ) to record their third-straight win.

Playing the second of a back-to-back set on the Jazz's vaunted home court, the Thunder took charge from the tip, led by a stellar performance from Kiwi centre Steven Adams.

In a tough matchup against defensive rock Rudy Gobert, Adams posted a double-double of 11 points and 13 rebounds, shooting a perfect 4/4 from the field and adding four blocks.

German sparkplug Dennis Schroder continued his hot form, pouring in 27 points off the bench.

Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander chipped in with 20 points and six boards, while Chris Paul added 16 points and seven assists with three steals.

Gobert was the Jazz's best with 19 points and 17 boards. All Star guard Donovan Mitchell posted 26 points and six rebounds.

The Thunder now travel to Sacramento to take on the Kings on Thursday.
