Thunder-Jazz Preview

A subpar record against Northwest Division opponents suggests the Utah Jazz may not be deserving of first place. The Oklahoma City Thunder can certainly make a strong case that they're a better team.

In a matchup of clubs jockeying for playoff position, the Jazz - coming off a three-day layoff - look to avoid being swept by the Thunder franchise for the first time in 27 years Tuesday night.

Utah (50-27) is tied with Dallas, Denver and Phoenix for second place in the Western Conference.

In the Northwest, the Jazz and Nuggets lead the Thunder (48-28) by 1 1/2 games for the top spot. Of those teams, only Utah has a record below .500 within the division at 7-8.

The Jazz's problems in the Northwest include three losses to Denver as well as two to Minnesota, owner of the West's worst record. Utah is 0-3 against Oklahoma City, one of eight teams to win at EnergySolutions Arena this season.

A win would give the Thunder their first sweep in the season series since winning all five matchups in 1982-83, when they were based in Seattle. Oklahoma City, winner of six of seven overall, is also trying to hold on to a 1 1/2-game lead over San Antonio for fifth place in the West.

"That's something that we can't worry about," said Kevin Durant, who became the Thunder's single-season scoring leader in a 116-108 win over the Timberwolves on Sunday night. "We've just got to go out there and control what we can control, and that's going out there and playing hard.

"These last six games, we'll let the chips fall where they may. If we give it all we've got, then we'll be satisfied."

Oklahoma City is facing a Utah team that should be recharged and eager to be back home. The Jazz have not played since a 106-92 road loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.

Utah has won nine straight at home, averaging 113.7 points. The Jazz averaged 110.3 points in going 12-5 in March before struggling versus the Lakers.

The league's second-best shooting team at 49.1 percent, Utah has been held to 46.7 percent while averaging 16.7 turnovers against the Thunder this season.

Andrei Kirilenko (calf) has missed 10 of Utah's last 12 games due to a strained calf. The veteran forward's status is uncertain for Tuesday.

If C.J. Miles starts for Kirilenko again, he'll likely be matched up with Durant, who is coming off a 40-point performance.

Durant has 2,258 points and has moved past Dale Ellis for the franchise's season scoring record. Ellis had 2,253 points in 1988-89.

Durant has helped the Thunder more than double their win total after going 23-59 last season. He believes Oklahoma City will be tough to beat during what will be its first postseason appearance in five years.

"There's another season," Durant said. "There's always two seasons in the NBA - which is the regular season and the playoffs - and some people don't make it. Unfortunately we didn't make it these last two years but we have the opportunity this year.

"It starts over, so you're 0-0 once you go to the playoffs."

Williams, Durant go into shootout mode in Jazz's OT victory

SALT LAKE CITY (NBA.com exclusive) -- It was only fitting that in their Wild West shootout on Tuesday night, Deron Williams and Kevin Durant would take the final shot for their respective teams.

Williams made his. Durant didn't.

Williams hit a 20-foot jumper with 1.1 seconds remaining to give the Utah Jazz a thrilling 140-139 overtime victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The win enabled the Jazz (51-27) to take a half-game lead over Dallas, Denver and Phoenix in the race for the Western Conference's No. 2 seed. The Thunder (48-29) had their four-game winning streak snapped.

Williams and Durant put on an entertaining duel in a game that was important for playoff implications, played in a playoff-like atmosphere and was a possible playoff preview. Williams scored a career-high 42 points and dished 10 assists while leading the Jazz to a season-high in points scored.

Jazz rookie Wesley Matthews said it was the best he's seen Williams play.

"I hope he's got more [performances like that in him]," Matthews said. "That was a great effort by him, the way he put us on his back like that."

Durant scored 45 points and missed the last shot of the game on a controversial no-call. Following Williams' jumper that put the Jazz up 140-139, Durant attempted a 3-pointer as time expired. C.J. Miles defended him on the play, there was some contact between the players and Durant's shot fell way short.

"Nah," was Miles' response when asked if he fouled Durant on the play. "I was running by the play. I put my hand in there to disrupt it, and I took my arm out of there real fast and kept running so it didn't give him a chance to hit me real good to make it look like a foul."

Durant and other Oklahoma City players vehemently argued the no-call with officials for a few seconds after the game ended. But after having some time to cool off, the Thunder did just that.

"The referee didn't call a foul," said Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks. "You have to go with him. He had a better look than I had. That's part of it. Sometimes you get those, sometimes you don't."

Williams got his game-winner and it gave him some redemption. He missed a 20-footer in the final seconds of regulation from almost the exact same spot where he won the game for Utah. Williams also had a turnover with 28 seconds left in the fourth that led to dunk by Jeff Green that trimmed the Thunder's deficit to 127-126.

"I just wanted to make up for those two plays," Williams said. "I thought I had that shot at the end of regulation, thought it was good."

The Jazz seemingly had control of the game in the fourth quarter. A 14-2 run gave Utah a 117-104 lead with 4:33 left in the game. A 3-pointer by Williams put the Jazz up 121-110 with 3:01 remaining.

But Durant then put on an amazing shooting display, and got the Thunder back in the game. He scored 12 points in the final three minutes of regulation. His seventh 3-pointer of the game made it 127-124 with 45.4 seconds remaining. He fell down while trying to tie the game late in the fourth quarter, but got the ball to Green, who drained a 3-pointer to tie the game at 129-129 with 8.3 seconds left in the game.

"I don't know that I've ever seen a guy shoot the ball as well as Durant," said Jazz coach Jerry Sloan. "He had some kind of basketball game. He can play like three or four different positions, and it's really difficult. He scored a lot of points, but he does it every day."

The win was sorely needed by the Jazz, as it was the first time they beat Oklahoma City in four tries this season. The Thunder beat the Jazz in Utah by 10 points back in November.

"They're a good team and you can see why," Sloan said.

It was the second time this season the two teams had a game decided by one point. If NBA fans are lucky, it won't be the last time the two teams play this season. The Thunder currently have the sixth best record in the Western Conference, so a playoff series between Utah and Oklahoma City is a possibility.

Tuesday's game featured 15 ties and 13 lead changes.

"If we match up in the playoffs, it's going to be a hell of a series," said Jazz forward Carlos Boozer, who had 28 points and 15 rebounds. "I like playing close games. That's how the playoffs are going to be. That's what tonight was -- an instant classic. Both teams did a great job of hustling out there, fighting for each possession, diving on the floor for loose balls, fighting for every rebound. It was a great game."
