The Thunder played the Pelicans close again Sunday. OKC claimed its second win over New Orleans this week with a 107-104 road victory.
The back-and-forth game was tied 12 times. The Thunder went on a 12-0 run in the fourth quarter, ending with a shot clock-beating 3-pointer by Chris Paul to give the Thunder a 101-94 lead with about two minutes left.
Danilo Gallinari, who led the Thunder with 23 points, put the final touches on the win with a made and missed free throw. After a review, the officials determined that time expired as the two teams fought for the rebound.
