The Thunder dominate the Jazz in their first game without SGA

No, Shai, no problem? It sure looked like that was the case tonight for the Thunder on the road in Utah as they won 131-101 in dominant fashion, even if the game clock breaking tried to postpone the inevitable.

To be fair, the Jazz aren't exactly world beaters, but OKC wasn't exactly playing with a full deck in terms of a healthy roster either. Players such as Alex Caruso, Isaiah Joe, Isaiah Hartenstein, Lu Dort, and most importantly, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

A major factor in the Thunder's success in the past few seasons has been their use of depth, to win a championship you are gonna need everyone, but tonight against the Jazz, OKC had plenty of guys like Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, and Branden Carlson who all stepped up as the defending champs got their first win of the season without the MVP.
