After losing their last two games in frustrating fashion, the OKC Thunder needed a feel good win going into the All-Star break to feel better about themselves. Thankfully the team got what it was looking for tonight, as they held on to beat the young Pelicans on the road.
The game started out back and forth as both teams quickly found their offensive rhythm. Danilo Gallinari was a scoring machine tonight, as he led a balanced OKC attack that started out strong in the opening period. New Orleans, however, was just as good in the first as they lead by one point going into the second frame.
