The Oklahoma City Thunder took down the Pelicans to mark its seventh win of its last eight games on Saturday night.
Oklahoma City dealt with New Orleans for the second time this season on Saturday night, eclipsing the Pelicans 119-109 on New Orleans' home floor.
Saturday night's win saw a familiar scoring flow with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropping 31 while Jalen Williams narrowly trailed with 27 points on the night. Isaiah Hartenstein managed the rebounding battle well, and the Pelicans were held to under 30% from three on the game.Those who haven't watched the Thunder over the past year are missing the sheer impressiveness of a duo's consistency like Gilgeous-Alexander and Williams provide.
In eight games and seven starts, Hartenstein is averaging 12.8 boards per game and is also adding 11.8 points on 56.9% shooting---becoming a massive impactor on both ends for this Thunder team.Again, versus a 5-19 team on Saturday night, the Thunder defense took care of business and executed its duties.
