Shai Gligeous-Alexander as a scout! For the third time in as many rounds played, the Canadian finished as the match's top scorer. This Saturday, the regular season MVP nominee finished the game with 24 points and 8 assists. Added to this are his 5 rebounds. OKC's number 2 contributed to his team's victory on the floor of the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans (85-106).
After a fairly tight first quarter, won by 4 points by the visitors, the Pelicans completely collapsed in the second and were unable to fight against the skill of the Oklahoma Thunders (62.5% shooting in Q2). Once the gap was made, OKC continued the work to easily win this third act with a 21-point lead. Thanks to this success, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his team are only one victory away from qualifying for the second round of the play-offs.
The fourth clash between its two teams takes place Monday evening (10 p.m.) on the same floor. The Pelicans to give themselves the right to dream. The Thunders to qualify in 4 rounds.
