When the Oklahoma City Thunder and Utah Jazz last met, the Jazz finished the night by celebrating their 4-2 NBA first-round playoff win over the Thunder.

Utah looked like a team on the rise after knocking off Oklahoma City in that series, even after falling in five games to the Rockets in the next round.

Things haven't exactly been smooth since then, though, as the Jazz started off this season with an uneven 8-11 start that could be attributed to a variety of factors -- Donovan Mitchell's injuries and struggles, inconsistent defense and Ricky Rubio's up-and-down performances at point guard among the issues.
