With his team trailing by 25 points and staring a first-round playoff exit in the face, Russell Westbrook produced a performance for the ages as he inspired a huge comeback win for the Oklahoma City Thunder.The reigning MVP was the catalyst for a remarkable 31-7 run in the third quarter which saw the Thunder overcome their big deficit.He ended the night with 45 points, 15 rebounds and seven assists and willed his team to keep their season alive with a 107-99 victory.Despite Westbrook's heroics, however, the win still leaves OKC trailing 3-2 in the series and remain just one loss away from elimination.Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell is confident they'll finish the job off in Salt Lake City and wasn't afraid to tell Thunder fans that they won't be returning to the Chesapeake Energy Arena for a game seven.In a video shared by Gabe Ikard of The Franchise Sports in Oklahoma City, Mitchell appeared to tell OKC fans "We'll see y'all next year" as he walked off the floor.

The youngster will hope that this doesn't come back to haunt him as the internet is an unforgiving place for moments like this.

But having won three already games and somehow managed to blow a 25-point advantage, Utah has every right to feel confident heading back home.

They beat and thoroughly outplayed the Thunder in games three and four on their home court.

There's no doubt that they will feel they let a huge opportunity slip away last night as they had the game in their grasp and were in total control.

Mitchell believes their inability to get back in transition played a huge part in allowing OKC to mount their comeback.

"We stopped playing defence," Mitchell said, per ESPN. "We stopped getting back. Our offence got stagnant. They made adjustments and we didn't make the right adjustments back.

"We will watch the film and figure out what went wrong, but from my analysis right after the game, we just stopped getting back in transition and they just fed off of that."

For the first time in the series, the home team was able to get to the rim almost at will as the Jazz's defensive anchor Rudy Gobert was in foul trouble for much of the game, which also proved to be a decisive factor.

"It's a different feeling when you don't have big fella back there," Mitchell said. "It's hard that we put all the pressure on him.

"We have had success but eventually it's not going to work and we have to play better defence as guards ourselves."

The Jazz will have another opportunity to close the tie out in front of their own fans on Friday night and look to set up a second-round matchup with the Houston Rockets.
