OKLAHOMA CITY — Reggie Jackson scored 22 points, and the Oklahoma City Thunder snapped a six-game skid with a 97-82 victory over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night.
Jeremy Lamb scored 21 points and Serge Ibaka added 20 for the Thunder, who shot 48 per cent.
Things might be looking up for Oklahoma City. Kevin Durant (broken right foot) and Russell Westbrook (broken right hand) have been practicing and taking contact, and both will be reevaluated in the next few days to see if they are ready to return. Durant, the reigning MVP, hasn’t played this season. Westbrook has played just two games.
Gordon Hayward scored 24 points, and Enes Kanter and Trey Burke each added 16 for the Jazz, who lost their fourth straight and matched their lowest point total of the season.
