The Thunder's bench balls out vs the Jazz

Last night in NBA Cup group play, the Thunder not only pulled out an UNO reverse card on the Jazz, but also hit them with a draw 54 wild card as OKC flipped what was at one time an 18-point deficit into a dominant 32-point win on the road.

One of the massive factors that helped correct course in this game was the performance of OKC's bench, which scored a combined 71 points. This would be the second-most points ever from a Thunder bench unit, only trailing the 85 points scored by the Thunder's non-starters on March 14, 2024, in a win against the Dallas Mavericks.
