After a physically and mentally draining game in Denver last night, the Oklahoma City Thunder struggled to find the energy tonight. The New Orleans Pelicans got 43 points from Anthony Davis and came away with a 114-100 victory. The Thunder showed fatigue tonight, turning the ball over, missing open shots, and giving up easy baskets.
The Thunder came out aggressive and with energy early on, eventually building a 27-16 lead in the first quarter. They found success getting to the basket and drawing fouls. The long twos and threes that were falling the previous night were not falling tonight.
