Pelicans Analysis: They just lost by 2 points
Oklahoma City presented New Orleans with opportunities to win the first game of the series on the road, but they were unable to capitalize. Before returning home to the Big Easy, the Pelicans must find a way to move past this setback and enter the game knowing that a loss will put them at a 2-0 series deficit. If New Orleans wants to win this series, they need to shoot the ball more effectively than in the first game. By the end of the first quarter and at the half, the Pelicans had their chances. New Orleans came back to take a 90-88 lead with 3:34 remaining, but they were unable to sustain their lead as they trailed by 10 early in the 4th quarter and by six at the end of the third quarter.
Thunder Analysis: They’ve played 6 games without a loss
Despite putting up a poor performance for a team that was awarded the first seed in the Western Conference playoff standings, Oklahoma City prevailed in the first game of this series. Given the youth of the team and the fact that most of the squad was playing in their first-ever playoff game on Sunday, some of the Thunder’s problems are to be expected. Now that they have overcome that setback, the anxieties should be gone, and their performance should improve noticeably from this point on. Going ahead in this series and possibly beyond, Oklahoma City’s confidence must be bolstered by their ability to win a game despite an unsightly outcome.
