“At least they tried.”
Once again, that’s about all you can say after the New Orleans Pelicans lost to the lowly Oklahoma City Thunder at home 108-100.
The Pelicans lost their eight straight game overall, and their fifth straight at the Smoothie King Center.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker broke out of his extended scoring slump and picked up his second double-double of the campaign with a season-high 33 points to go with 10 rebounds and four assists.
Jonas Valanciunas is no stranger to double-doubles, collecting his 10th in a row after scoring 25 points and grabbing 15 boards.
