On the first night of a road back-to-back, the Oklahoma City Thunder picked up an important 110-96 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday.
The Thunder leapfrogs the Pelicans in the standings, whose season continues to spiral out of control due to injuries. The Pelicans were without Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson and Jose Alvarado for the loss.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way as he finished with 35 points on 11-of-23 shooting and went a perfect 13-for-13 from the free-throw line. After a two-game absence, Jalen Williams contributed with 17 points. Josh Giddey also had 19 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
