The Oklahoma City Thunder hosted the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night. The Thunder look to break their three-game losing streak. The Pelicans not played since their Tuesday night victory against the Sacramento Kings.
The Thunder made their first run after being down six early in the first quarter. The Thunder proceeded to outscore the Pelicans 28-10, which helped them jump out to a ten-point lead after one quarter. The Thunder built their team back up to sixteen before outscoring the Pelicans 32-20 for the remainder of the quarter, cutting their deficit to six heading into halftime.
New Orleans started out the half on a 16-4 run to take an eight-point lead early in the quarter, finishing the third period with a seven-point lead. The Pelicans continued to build on their momentum into the fourth quarter, building an eleven-point lead midway through the final frame, and ultimately finish the game with a victory 114-100.
The Pelicans were led by Anthony Davis who accumulated 43 points and 10 rebounds. E’Twaun Moore followed Davis’s performance in the wake of DeMarcus Cousins injury, filling in with 26 points. Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook recorded a triple-double in the loss with 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 14 assists to go along with nine turnovers.
