The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 121 - 110 Wednesday at Smoothie King Center. The Thunder (17 - 12) were once again led by their fearless leader Russell Westbrook, who put together another 40 - point performance with 42 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in just 34 minutes. Westbrook once again carried a team that failed to get many significant contributions from its starters. Alex Abrines, however, did have a surprise performance off the bench Wednesday, scoring 18 points in 30 minutes - - just his second double - digit performance of the season. Additionally, Enes Kanter posted yet another double - double as a reserve, posting 14 points and 14 rebounds in 34 minutes. As a team, the Thunder did shoot the ball rather effectively, hitting 51 percent of their shots overall and 39 percent of their threes. The Pelicans (10 - 21) got another stellar performance out of their superstar forward Anthony Davis, as he posted 34 points and 15 rebounds in 36 minutes. And while Jrue Holiday and Terrence Jones each had great nights themselves, scoring 23 and 21 points respectively, the other nine players who saw the floor for New Orleans managed to score a total of just 32 points. Despite not having a full team effort, the game was ultimately lost for New Orleans on the boards, as they were out - rebounded by the Thunder 49 - to - 34. Up next, the Thunder will travel to Boston on Friday to take on the Celtics, while the Pelicans will stay home Friday and play the Heat.
