What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
Russell Westbrook has had a 25-point, 10-assist game with all five teams he’s played for in his career (Thunder, Rockets, Wizards, Lakers & Clippers).
Ties most in NBA history. Sam Cassell, Jarrett Jack, John Lucas, Andre Miller and Chris Paul have also done it. @ESPNStatsInfo12:52 AM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
That’s a 5-0 homestand for the Warriors without Steph Curry or Andrew Wiggins. Trailed by 17 to the Pelicans tonight. Won by nine. Fourth straight game they’ve been down double digits and won. They’re 27-7 at home and 34-30 overall. Road trip: Lakers, Thunder, Grizzlies. – 12:30 AM

The Triple Team! 3 thoughts on:
1. The last time the Jazz had 26 turnovers was in 2015… there are some similarities between the 2015 and 2023 Jazz.
2. Ochai Agbaji driving the paint
3. 538’s projection of the rest of the Jazz season

Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Frustrating half for the Jazz. Can’t turn the ball over 33% of your possessions. Can’t leave league-leading 3-point shooters open to help on drives like they did to end the half there.
But! A loss could move the Jazz to 11th draft position. – 9:07 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Lu Dort is doing a GREAT job on Lauri Markkanen – 8:38 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
End 1Q: Thunder 34, Jazz 29. Utah’s surprisingly close given Markkanen being a non-factor offensively. Simone Fontecchio is having a breakout performance, though, with a team-high 8p. – 8:36 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
OKC up 34-29 after 1Q.
Jazz having a little bit of trouble getting Markkanen the ball… has only 1 FGA in the 1Q. OKC definitely collapsing and sending help, too. – 8:36 PM
Ryan Miller @millerjryan
End of 1: OKC 34, Utah 29. The Thunder go 7/14 from three, and Lauri Markkanen only gets up one (official) shot.
Simone Fontecchio leading the way with 8 points on 2/4 from three. Walker Kessler has 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks. – 8:36 PM
Clemente Almanza @CAlmanza1007
End of 1Q: Thunder 34, Jazz 29
Joe – 9 points
Giddey – 8 points, 6 assists
Dort – 6 points
Fontecchio – 8 points – 8:35 PM

Two fouls on Markkanen. Not ideal for the Jazz, but he remains in for now. – 8:32 PM
Oklahoma City Thunder @okcthunder
Joe draws the charge! ⚡️ – 8:31 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
It is still the first quarter, OKC has drawn three offensive fouls, Isaiah Joe has caused two of them. – 8:31 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Scoreboard says 29-24…assuming someone stepped out of bounds on a three…..so the Jazz trail by five now – 8:29 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz trail the Thunder 29-27 Qing 2:21 remaining in the first quarter – 8:28 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Damian Jones instead of Udoka Azubuike tonight, by the way. Is my “Jazz are tanking” hypothesis now wrong? – 8:27 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
That was one of the coolest three’s from Isaiah Joe, ball in the air just holds the follow through and turns to celebrate the bucket.
OKC is up 29-24. – 8:27 PM

Good lord, Walker Kessler! – 8:23 PM

Slow starts have plagued the Thunder out of the break. Not tonight. OKC is 5-of-6 from three with a quick 17-8 lead over Utah. – 8:16 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
If the Thunder continue making every single shot they will not lose this game. My hot take – 8:16 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
The Thunder have already gotten two offensive fouls against the Jazz one by Joe and one by Dort. They continue to blitz the nets, OKC is up 17-6. – 8:15 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The thunder are 4-4 from the field and lead the Jazz 11-4 – 8:13 PM
Clemente Almanza @CAlmanza1007
OKC opens the game with a quick 11-4 lead less than 2 minutes into the game – 8:13 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Then, Isaiah Joe draws an offensive foul – 8:13 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Lu Dort hit back to back triples, and OKC is on an 11-4 run to start on City Edition night. – 8:13 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Jaylin Williams just hit a three, and screamed BOOM, OKC leads by three. Good energy in the building tonight, but that might just be the apparent Arkansas fan base behind me – 8:11 PM

The Clippers pick right now is #17. If tonight:
– Kings beat Clippers
– Timberwolves beat Lakers
– Hawks beat Blazers
The LAC pick falls to #15. If you throw in these two outcomes:
– Jazz beat Thunder
– Pelicans beat Warriors
The LAC pick falls into a 3-way tie for pick #13. – 2:38 PM
