Shai Gilgeous-Alexander gets the early bragging rights at the next family function in Hamilton as his OKC Thunder seemingly switched personas with the upbeat New Orleans offense.
Coming into the match the Pelicans sported one of the better offenses while OKC has one of the better defenses. Presumably one side was going to have to master the other’s advantage to capture the all-important win. However, in a complete role reversal, it was the Thunder showcasing their offense, particularly via the young guns on the squad.
From the start, it was clear the team was dialed in to be aggressive offensively.
