The Svi Show
Svi Mykhailiuk was electric off the bench in Friday’s contest.
The 6-foot-7 forward poured on a team-high 19 points against Utah, hitting three of his four attempted 3-pointers.
Mykhailiuk, who was acquired from Detroit in the Hamidou Diallo trade, played 26 minutes on Friday.
Jazz Coast to Late-Season Win
The NBA-leading Jazz took care of business Friday night, coasting to a 109-93 win over the Thunder.
Utah’s Bojan Bogdanovic and Rudy Gobert paced the team on both ends of the court. Bogdanovic led with 22 points on 50 percent shooting.
Gobert added 16 points and 16 rebounds to go along with his stifling defense.

Deck Continues Solid Stretch of Play
Argentinian signee Gabriel Deck continued providing valuable minutes for OKC against the Jazz.
Deck added 18 points on 6-for-9 shooting. He also came down with six rebounds.
