The Oklahoma City Thunder (40 - 14) earned a home win Thursday at Chesapeake Energy Arena over the New Orleans Pelicans (20 - 33), 121 - 95. The Pelicans scored the game’s first six points but lost the lead for good by the end of the first quarter. The Thunder were aggressive from the three - point line, launching 32 attempts from deep and making 12 (38 percent). The Pelicans made just three of their 16 attempts, and the 27 - point advantage Oklahoma City enjoyed from outside was the story of the game. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook notched 23 points apiece to lead the Thunder. Westbrook dished 10 assists and finished one rebound away from what would have been his fourth double - double in the past six games. Durant made 10 of his 17 field goal attempts and added six assists and three rebounds. Serge Ibaka scored 18 points and added three blocks. Anthony Davis (8 - 14 FG, 7 - 12 FT) and Jrue Holiday (11 - 20 FG) joined the four - way tie for the game high in points with 23. Davis added three rebounds, two steals and two assists, and Holiday dished six assists, nabbed five steals and pulled down four rebounds in his 31 minutes off the bench. But the Pelicans just couldn’t get their shots going, as they made just 36 of their 88 field goal attempts (43 percent). The Pelicans return from the break next Friday at home against the 76ers. The Thunder welcome the Pacers next Friday in Oklahoma City.
