SGA hits a 3, Dort hits a 3, JDub drives to the basket. What a 3-possession sequence by OKC down the stretch. Thunder lead 117-112 with 19.6 secs left – 10:18 PM

Pelicans go up 112-107 and it looks like the game got away from OKC.
Then Shai GIlgeous-Alexander happened.
SGA offensive board + assist to JDub.
SGA stepback 3 pointer.
SGA steal.
Lu Dort 3.
OKC up 115-112. 1 minute to go. – 10:16 PM

Think Shai just got away with the most point-blank carry. (Why is it still even in the NBA rule book if it’s that obvious but never called?)
The Thunder wind up hitting a 3 on the possession to go up 115-112. The Pelicans will inbound with 1:01 left. – 10:15 PM

What a sequence. Josh Giddey makes an excellent pass to Dort, he misses, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander taps the rebound to Jalen WIlliams for a putback. This is a crazy game. – 10:13 PM

The jumper not falling for SGA tonight. Murphy III nails a 3-pointer and gives the Pelicans a 110-107 lead. OKC calls a timeout with 4:24 left in the 4Q – 10:08 PM

OKC was up by 20.
Pelicans got it down to 2.
SGA snatches an offensive board and lobs to Chet for a dunk to end a rollercoaster 3rd quarter.
OKC up 96-90 going into the 4th. – 9:51 PM

Jalen Williams is just incredibly versatile. Him being able to just sit in the corner and sink a catch and shoot triple is such a weapon playing alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He is shooting 43% on catch and shoot looks this season. – 9:07 PM

That was a massive challenge. Not only for the 3-point play, but this put 3 fouls on Herb Jones — the Pels best defender and one of the best matchups in the league for SGA — Jones has wasted 2 fouls on a reach in on Joe and now this one on Dort. – 9:04 PM

Trey Murphy, who does many things well, badly needs to add some physicality to his defensive repertoire. Kenrich Williams drove around him far too easily and then Shai was able to gain separation just as simply for an open jumper inside the lane. – 8:47 PM

SGA looks much better in the 2Q. Up to 11 points. Hits a tough jumper and Pelicans call a timeout. Thunder lead 52-44 with 6:26 left in the 2Q – 8:47 PM

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander took a knee to the face from Herb Jones.
Incidental contact. SGA gets up and hits both free throws.
But he might be feeling that one tomorrow. – 8:45 PM

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander checks back in at the 2:48 mark and immediately hits his first bucket of the game.
Seems as though Mark Daigneault is trying out some new wrinkles with the rotation. – 8:33 PM
