OKC Thunder at New Orleans Pelicans | Game Highlights | March 26, 2024

Hunder claimed victory in this building back in January first possession there is Chad hren launching and an offensive rebound giddy quick put back and he floats it up and in nicely done Josh giddy who’s been getting off to Quick starts in the first quarter dor almost stepped on that

Sideline just did keep the heel above the tape there is a three-point shot from the outside it’s Wen out on the perimeter up top it’s giddy thinking about it launches again and that’s two here for Josh giddy in the first quarter the 31-year-old veteran will go to the line

But giddy taking advantage of that space oh he’s got a certain step to his game and his return is D way too strong in the three and the rebound of alen chunis Williamson he got tied up and had his pocket pick by JB turnover New Orleans

He is such a big body when he gets close to the basket but he’s vulnerable away from it oh nice drive there is jdub putting it on the deck one dribble in a lay good defense by jdub now he’s racing down the floor once again he’s going to play through it and the

Foul you we talked about you got to put your work in early against Z and this is what happens here he just can’t Elevate and the Thunder picks up that Loose Change off the floor and it is a flat out race to the Finish H he racing up the

Floor and the Pelicans get back defensively Jay dub from the outside Reigns in that three he he he sets Zion up for that one because good intensity here in the first 5 minutes skiddy shows the touch with that floater right over valent Tunis he is just sprouting with

Confidence him mikel’s got 10 points oh you’re loving it too because it’s coming on a variety of different ways I like the floater too though that’s kind of nasty I was talking to Antonio Daniels color analyst for the Pelicans before the game he said it really likes his

Game he said he likes this guy’s game too hard to believe he’s just a rookie giddy veering toward the Baseline back up top Jay will lines up that three and it rattles home he’s got himself a boom and the Pelicans four threes here in this first quarter SJ back in the game spinning

Right around Alvarado nice move and SGA has his first made basket of the game because we don’t want the growth that we’ve had to stall out all right thank you Nick and an opportunity is Isaiah Joe open for that three and he cans it from date and great job by Gordon

Hayward just kind of looked like he was going to like take the shot well you got five Thunder threes you got five Pelicans threes Marshall his feet are behind the three-point line not his shot Jay will fires it up the floor K Wallace behind everybody’s going to guide it home and

There’s again that pace once again the foul how about Wallace getting out there going a contest air ball and in a two-hand overhead pass and so Shay that different rotation here starts the second quarter and he shoots it right over Marshall and he’s got four points check that make it five

Outside to kenri Williams it’s hen oh tough shot off one foot fading away right over valent Tunis a problem yeah that’s right you said it was a tough shot but this is a shot you was talking about look at this man put the ball on the floor 7′

One going into the chest of Chad hren SGA that time on the other side of the floor from the Baseline he’s got another two from that outdoor Court oh you know exactly what I’m talking about there’s not much leather left on it we all started on the black top

That’s a black top move there Cas Wallace gets to that painted area good job by K Wallace staying attached to McCullum who’s always looking to get free and release a three nice defense on the backside SGA poked it free got it back little back in for game

And Isaiah Joe no even down here in the Big Easy they show up K Wallace Seline three just in front of the Thunder bench and he buries it and from one three-point shooter to another as SJ wants home to set the screen now he Dives jet can pass kri

Nice fake nice finish oh good job waiting for air traffic to clear up above Ling this ball movement call that a pocket pass little Zone Buster you get some by lot of read lot of read in the defense there’s a a rushed Force shot by McCullum Thunder been making quick

Decisions on this end like that there’s a little burst from kenri Williams that quick offense we talked about playing with a lot of pace oh playing with a lot of pace the ball exchanging hands and getting those easy buckets as SJ oneon-one with Murphy spins hangs floats

And scores nicely done and Willie Green of the Pelicans forced to call a timeout drive to the basket this is just SGA putting the look and you know what year the merger happened I’m going to give you a pop qu not7 oh come on man you looked at

Something I didn’t cheat oh what a shot there from jayd converting turnovers too as well that’s right he’s going to try to get back to it Joe oh the hierarchy three that one touched the scoreboard I was waiting for it to come down I took a drink has it on the

Run here’s left bounces off of McCullum shot in the way and he beats the buzzer and the possession results in a do he’s going to get free throws look at this this is four three two and one kid got ice water in his vein exactly says he doesn’t believe in the

Freshman wall with the sophomore slum it’s just basketball as Chad homing climbs the ladder on that slam man watch once again no huddle offense jdub fires it over to Chad holgren he will launch the three and hit the three from the outside little jab step for Chad oh just beautiful he came

In hot too 11 threes over the last two games as Shay dangerous pass Dort side step leans into Jones are they going to call it on the floor they’re going to call it on the shot as you see Jones on the close out on that little side step thought he

Was going to have the three now he’s had a basketball move M leading into Jones as a Defender no no watch this he’s going straight ahead you know Jones is kind of coming into his space what concerns me is the lean in from Dort I think if Chen homr waited just a

Smidge longer it would have just been a clean block Jade up in the corner High arching throw there’s another one for him as he cans it from Deep junis play 10 minutes in the first home grin plays through it right on Nance put that left shoulder into his

Chest St move Dynamic players like that you hear Mark dagal about those Dynamic players Michael and one of the keys is to just create a crowd use different Defenders there’s a turnover by the Pelicans SGA on the Move gives it up giddy quick release and he baks it

Home y keeps it on the perimeter giddy’s going to have to make a move tied up the shot and just in front of the end of the shot clock Ted hren was daring n to take that three you see that perimeter pressure Murphy the move Murphy flies up and got

Denied at the top an incredible two-handed block from hren on the other end it’s giddy spinning into the transition bucket number four take a look at this look at the height of both those players Trey Murphy he’s cocking it back like he’s coming from Georgia and it was

Chad hren with the two-handed block instead that was incredible defense Jay du skip pass there’s gidy lines it up from the outside and Josh gidy continuing to feel it how about this they’re so unselfish with the basketball it’s just a almost a giddy with 19 in the game he’s the Thunder

Leading score SJ spinning floating on Marshall and Marshall just has not been able to stop him when SGA wants to get into his move shade drives left oh and then he goes with the lollipop layup the left hand absolutely if he tries to take two steps how about this 101 coverage see

What happens little spin move man that’s a nice little floater at the end what you call this partner what’s the what is that does it look like a lollipop Thunder got the stop on the last possession try to keep the ball out of mccollum’s hands Zion’s got it here been playing

That point Zion and there’s a steal J had it taken away by Joe little jab step what does he decide to do tough step back shot that rims out nice rebound by SGA the floater the love and Chad holr on the Alley who puts it down this an

Ice water youran Play It’s JB missed the shot but an offensive rebound and Chad rocks the rim on the alleyoop with those tough contorting finishes and he’s got a law man in chat and it’s as advertised you were right on point it was almost as though you knew

Exactly what was coming based off the chemistry between the two of them SGA defending ball out to the perimeter it’s hren gy outside and that three silence is the crowd what a shot from the outside that was a huge shot by Josh giddy no hesitation he’s N Out of 12

From the floor Shay on the cut from Kenrick nicely done the reverse layup the pretty pass he put that pass the only spot it could have been without getting it deflected fourth quarter Shay with the dime to kenri Williams the Thunder had the cut now they’re trying to hold on Michael how

Can the Thunder find that Groove move that they had in the first half oh just knocking down shots that’s what he did you know gu Josh Kitty you know it’s going to come down the score in the basketball over the head pass to Giddy giddy behind the back th wide open for

Three in the corner SJ Taps it over to J in the right place at the right time terrific to change that scoreboard and it’s started with plays like this by SGA with another opportunity to get a little closer here trailing one possession game Shay bounces wants to reset the

Offense home gr again on the dive but instead it’s SGA stepping back and nailing it MVP candidate as well this is why as he knocks down to try F comes up with a mammoth three-point shot to tie the Ball Game crossb Pass over to Jones tied up

Lost it it’s loose on the deck and finally scraped up by hren oh SGA got away with a carry there the kick out the Dork over to gidd in the corner little twers game dor steps back there’s another three backto back triples by OKC to regain the lead all

Game and great way to microwave eight points exactly when you need it massive possession jdub looking for a couple of screens got around Homer drives in and scores tell he such a dynamic player foul give McCullum that shot and an out no good and it’s Tracked Down on the

Weak Side by SGA and what a finish to this game in The Big Easy there was nothing easy about it late after the Thunder Trail by five they finished this game on a 120 run to Steel a road Victory away from the Pelicans who had been surging in the Western Conference

  1. Proud of the boys tonight, played with a lot more effort and physicality after Bucks outclassed us on both ends. Glad Giddey is looking confident again, just worried about SGA he seems injured or fatigued?

  2. Whew glad we banged down a couple threes there in closing time and JDub was like a heat-seeking missile to the rim!

  3. Resurgence of Josh Giddey on offense in the last 8 games is essential ro helping out SGA who will continue to see multiple defenses along with Jalen Williams (J-Dub) also getting multiple defensive looks . cleaning room for Holmgren to improve his offensive skillset

  4. Giddy starting to figure out his new role this season, he's only 21, improvement isn't always linear. Starting to punish teams leaving him open on 3 point line which is good to see.

  5. Giddy point guard and he gone be here and ain't gone leave and we don't want him to leave. We like all our player and other teams when they come,,, So. We love basketball

  6. Coach see Chet fragile still. He try to keep him healthy. I can tell he hurt whatever it was before, but not to the point he ain't gone play
