Thunder punish Pelicans, take commanding 3-0 series lead

OKC 106 NOP 85

Oklahoma City leads New Orleans 3-0 in the opening round series.


Three WOOFs for the big dogs (sorry not sorry).

The world is no longer worried about Chet Holmgren's size inside. Whether Trey Murphy III and Larry Nance II are doing okay after being repeatedly blocked at the rim by Chet all game is another question.

Lu Dort's doing just fine, too. Dort overcame a shaky shot and offensive decision making for most of the regular season, and that progress has carried into postseason play. And the lockdown one-on-one defense Dort is known for? I'm sure the post-game media will delicately ask Brandon Ingram about that.

If the +55 margin of victory through three games wasn't enough to call it, Josh Giddey torching the Pelicans makes it official: this series is unfair.
