Bojan Bogdanovic said making a Utah Jazz franchise-record 11 3-pointers wasn't all that complicated.

He simply chalked it up to being open. He said the Oklahoma City Thunder helped so much on stopping the All-Star pick-and-roll combination of guard Donovan Mitchell and center Rudy Gobert that it left him room to shoot comfortably.

Bogdanovic scored 35 points to help the Jazz defeat the Thunder 116-103 on Sunday night.

Bogdanovic's previous career high for made 3s was eight — a total he had reached by the end of the third quarter. He attempted 18 3-pointers — five more than his previous career high.

"Every single shot was a good shot, even if I was hot or not," Bogdanovic said. "So even if I didn’t get them in the first quarter or second quarter, I would keep shooting."

Oklahoma City coach Mark Daigneault knew it could be a problem if the Thunder didn't get out on Bogdanovic.

Bogdanovic only attempted one shot inside the 3-point line — a miss. He made both of his free throws.

Mitchell had 24 points and 10 assists, and Jordan Clarkson added 20 points for the Jazz.

Utah bounced back from a 124-90 loss to New Orleans on Friday.
