Thunder stomp Pelicans, stay in command of series

Thunder stomp Pelicans, stay in command of series

OKC 124 NOP 92

Oklahoma City went up 2-0 over New Orleans, looking much more themselves than they did in Game 1: a #1 seed picking on a weaker opponent without its best player. After Game 1 finished too close for comfort, the Thunder overwhelmed the Pelicans and maintained a lead over New Orleans comfy enough for a Tempur-Pedic sponsorship. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander set a new personal playoff scoring high (33 points on 13-19 shooting) and Chet Holmgren dominated on both ends, assuaging the team's frontcourt size concerns for a stress-free home blowout.
