NEW ORLEANS — The buzz saw was back on Monday night.
The seesaw, too.
In what's become a familiar script, the Thunder dazzled early and looked frazzled when it mattered most, blowing another big early lead in a 114-107 loss to the Pelicans.
It was the sixth time this season that Oklahoma City (7-10) has lost a game in which it led by double digits. On Monday at the Smoothie King Center, it was a 19-point cushion in the first quarter, but the game played out much the same way as last Friday, when the Thunder led the Spurs by 23 in the second and lost.
