With Russell Westbrook having fouled out in the first overtime, George had to put the game on his shoulders and he came up big, grabbing a rebound off Joe Ingles' missed shot with 10 seconds left and keeping the ball until he drove into the lane before releasing the high floater that went cleanly through the net.

The win was the Thunder's 12th in 14 games while Utah lost for the second consecutive game.

Westbrook's NBA-record streak of 11 consecutive triple-doubles came to an end officially in overtime when he was called for his sixth foul on a charge with 1:09 remaining. Westbrook finished with 43 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists.

Ricky Rubio's three-pointer gave the Jazz the lead again with 31.5 seconds remaining. Without a timeout, the Thunder pushed the ball up the court as Westbrook dished to Jerami Grant underneath the basket for the lay-up as he was fouled.

Grant made the free throw to tie the score again, then blocked a shot at the other end to give Oklahoma City a chance to win in regulation but Westbrook's pull-up missed the mark and the game went to overtime.

The win clinched the season series for the Thunder, who have won their first three meetings with the Jazz this season.
