The Utah Jazz recently made an Oklahoma City Thunder-like trade with the Phoenix Suns and it could pay off in the future.

Utah now continues its road trip against the best in the west, the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Utah Jazz are back to the grind on Wednesday night in likely one of their toughest road battles of the season-- facing the top-ranked team in the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a career-high 54 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Utah Jazz 123-114.

Oklahoma City will try to keep its eight-game home win streak alive when the Thunder take on Utah. Wednesday's meeting is the first this season between the squads.
