The Jazz waltzed into Oklahoma City Wednesday night and evened their Western Conference series with a 102-95 win thanks to a late fourth-quarter rally.

Utah boasts one of the most underrated rosters from top to bottom. Void of any real established star, the Jazz have mostly leaned on rookie shooting guard Donovan Mitchell for consistent scoring this season.

However, Mitchell's backcourt mate, Ricky Rubio, has been the Jazz's true X-factor. Rubio, a Spanish international known as a slick passer and ball-handler, has improved from beyond the arc this season, helping Utah stretch defenses.

Rubio's last three seasons entering this one ended with 3-point shooting percentages of 26, 33 and 31 percent. He shot 35 percent from beyond the arc during the regular season, and he drained 5-of-8 from long range Wednesday.

Rubio finished the game with 22 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, proving his versatility. Mitchell scored a game-high 28 points, while Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert both had double-doubles in the win, but Rubio set the tone on both ends of the court.

If the Jazz are going to advance in the playoffs, upsetting Russell Westbrook and the Thunder, Rubio will have to remain hot from beyond the arc.
