@RohdeOK 8:59 p.m. Westbrook: 21 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 7 turnovers, 6 steals, 1 technical.

@anthonyVslater 8:55 p.m. We've got a ballgame in OKC. Utah starts the fourth quarter on a 16-5 run, cutting the Thunder lead to 88-83 with 7:41 left.

@RohdeOK 8:50 p.m. Actually, yes they would. RT @ThunderObsessed @RohdeOK You do realize turnovers wont' really account for the quadruple double. right?

@RohdeOK 8:47 p.m. Westbrook quadruple-double update entering fourth quarter: 16 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 6 turnovers.

@DarnellMayberry 8:43 p.m. After three, the Thunder leads the Jazz 83-67.

@RohdeOK 8:43 p.m. Don't want to name names, but one of the Utah-Thunder refs is having a horrible night. ... OK, it's Eli Roe.

@anthonyVslater 8:42 p.m. Russell Westbrook has 16 points, eight rebounds and eight assists after three quarters. Got a chance for his sixth career triple-double.

@RohdeOK 8:41 p.m. Mo Williams just deliberately fouled Westbrook on a fastbreak and there was no call, yet Westbrook didn't complain.

@anthonyVslater 8:33 p.m. Kendrick Perkins with 10 points (on 5-6 shooting) mid-way through the third quarter. That ties a season-high. OKC up 73-58 on Utah.

@RohdeOK 8:26 p.m. ... and also in the two FTs he has now missed.

@RohdeOK 8:26 p.m. Westbrook is 4 for 11 from the field. I'm guessing he thought he got fouled on the seven shots he missed. #comeonref

@RohdeOK 8:20 p.m. Westbrook now had five turnovers at 10:27 of the third quarter. Quadruple-double hopes still alive.

@RohdeOK 8:17 p.m. Utah trails #Thunder 54-42 at the half. Only reason Jazz is within striking distance and because of 18-6 advantage in 3-pointers.

@anthonyVslater 8:03 p.m. Russell Westbrook has 10 points, seven rebounds and five assists at halftime. #TripleDoubleAlert

@anthonyVslater 8:02 p.m. OKC up 54-42 on Utah at halftime. The two Kevins (Durant and Martin) combined for 24.

@RohdeOK 8:02 p.m. Sweet and innocent Thunder ranked last in tech fouls four years ago. Now ranks third (19) behind Clippers (24) and Suns (20).

@DarnellMayberry 8:02 p.m. At halftime, the Thunder leads the Jazz 54-42. Jazz shooting just 34.9 percent and have turned it over 11 times, leading to 20 OKC points.

@RohdeOK 7:52 p.m. Utah's Derrick Favors has strained right arch. Will not return.

@anthonyVslater 7:49 p.m. Kevin Durant 4-of-4 shooting tonight, 23 of his last 34 overall. Really hitting an offensive stride and starting to pile up the points.

@RohdeOK 7:48 p.m. Thunder leads Utah 14-2 in points off turnovers.

@DarnellMayberry 7:46 p.m. Thunder now turning its defense into offense and has built a 40-30 lead with 5:08 left in the second quarter.

@RohdeOK 7:39 p.m. Thunder getting pounded on the boards against Utah -- 18-12 overall; 6-2 at offensive end.

@anthonyVslater 7:39 p.m. Hasheem Thabeet has made 17 of his 22 shots this season. That's 77%. What a great (and underrated) move by Sam Presti.

@DarnellMayberry 7:38 p.m. Nice defensive play by Kevin Martin, ripping Alec Burks on a crossover move and forcing the ball out of bounds off his leg.

@DarnellMayberry 7:30 p.m. Thunder 22, Jazz 20 after one quarter.

@anthonyVslater 7:23 p.m. A 2008 Pheonix Suns intrasquad game breaking out in OKC early. Really fast-paced. Thunder and Jazz tied 18-18.

@DarnellMayberry 7:20 p.m. Of course as soon as I tweet that Mo Williams drains two straight buckets.

@DarnellMayberry 7:18 p.m. Russell Westbrook also starting the game with great defensive pressure on Mo Williams.

@DarnellMayberry 7:16 p.m. Kevin Durant off to a fast start scoring. Haven't seen that much this year.

@anthonyVslater 7:08 p.m. The Thunder come in averaging 105.4 points per game, most in the NBA. OKC has scored more than 100 in eight straight games.

@anthonyVslater 7:03 p.m. Nice test for the Thunder at home tonight, facing a hot Utah team. Jazz have won five of past six games. Game tips in about 10 minutes.
