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

As this road trip continues Ingram goes to work driving down the lane trying to dump it off Valen chunis got swiped away on the backside and there is that defense we’ve been seeing from SGA all year I’m going get him something different here now hren goes right by him on the

Drive and the scoop and score boy that was pretty it’s become a big Arsenal for him cuz he’s known as a defensive player and Shay right back the other way nothing but space D Jones trying to stay attached to him so instead the Thunder Run it right

Through jdub and jdub put it up high for Chad hren and the Thunder running multiple actions on offense particularly in the mid-range as Home Green was able to rip away that rebound from Val chunis Shay slips it underneath excellent pass and the dunk by door jdub

And Shay having a career year in assists as you said those back to getting that start in place of Zion Zion a very late scratch that’s a tough shot thort fell it’s loose underneath on valent chunis and the Thunder able to pry it free his teammate found him up the floor Shay

Driving off balance puts it up takes the contact from Jones and is going to go to the line he makes a play like this this is a sgaa special right there so interesting Michael because I’ve heard good job picking up that Loose Change going have sh a little open window there

And about to clean up by kenri that’s what we’re talking about folks that’s a terrific Point yeah he he’s definitely you know a streaky player hasn’t had a great January as kimry Williams will step up and hit the little midi for the Pelicans Willie Green got into his bench

As well Marshall puts it up rolls around the rim balunis and it looked like hren on the backside once again got a piece balunis and it looked like hren on the backside once again got a piece that’s tough to do that’s tough to do and how about a

Tough shot sh by the first year man out of Kentucky case Wallace Force the Miss on that McCollum Runner there’s the cut case and Wallace from one cutter to another Wiggins right to Wallace for the Finish objects in motion no valent Tunis is really going to try to take

Advantage his physique Jay du inside got bumped off his spot no whistle but still able to lay it up and in both these two ball clubs put up some massive numbers a couple of nights ago thunder on the road Fons at home and on the set piece out of

Bounds Chad hren catch and shoot three and trying to cover that shot by CH good defense by K Wallace and again a deflection headed the three by McCullum and then takes it all the way to the rim a little elevation from the rookie finisher in transition confident Little Euro Step on

His way for the jam helping out Chad hren off that Miss from the corner Wiggins sideline three and he’s got it I’m still going to go tended it might be in the back of the head of alen chunis nobody likes seeing their shots swatted no matter what as hogman comes right back puts his head down attacks the rim and scores Ingram got it to

Daniels Daniels B junis in the help on the backside case Wallace another steal three on one Wiggins up ahead’s going to lay it in even with Jones right there now that’s what makes a big man happy in the open floor SGA thought that one was

Going down th got to get back two on one momentarily how about Isaiah Joe sniffing out that alleyoop attempt he got the deflection and it’s a turnover by the Pelicans maybe a Cup of Jo not from the offense but watch the end of this folks he throws it off the body as

He’s falling out you know you’re getting a basketball on the charge and job keeps the offense going pulling up right outside the free throw line relatively a quiet night he’s two of seven with those seven points Dro 33 in this building a couple of nights ago against the Jazz Shay able

To elevate up in the air he thought he got clipped on the arm didn’t get the whistle again not allow the Pelicans any kind of opportunity to get any points on the board here jdub works his way inside missed the initial layup they’re going to say the shot is Good from Chad hren

Initially give this another look thr on the floor is a successful basket and ooh it is close and so they will really look at this and I don’t know if he got it down but the officials are going to go back is the finger still on the ball right

There he told me the Pelicans are doing a really good job of packing the paint so Thunder has to be disciplined to move the ball side to side to open up those looks and move the Pelicans defense around guys all right thank you Paris for the physicality and the

Communication was there just 41 points and he can’t extend the lead on the home run three but an offensive rebound he will Rumble down the lane and then soar up for the slam conratulations to Barbara yri from Oklahoma City who won a $50 Sonic gift card on this jet home

Above the Rim Jam well and you loveing have it’s coming partner because it’s at moments where the Pelicans are trying to get some kind of rhythm and you make a play like this everybody feels good on a play like that especially when it’s coming from your big man when the shots

Not falling from three nice play Perfect find SGA back door cut take a look at this folks set piece okay you thinking you’re trying to get the ball G’s pass is deflected and that and that’s the key the thunder so good at reading it what the defense is doing

There’s the spin by ched hren right on N spinning right into the slam say out front here’s that little step around do I have to see you after class again no you don’t have to see me after class I think you got a cheat sheet somewhere oh I got

It right you got it right just like Jay dub got it right on that nice little Drive left finish right all those years they called them on me I just shouldn’t think I did it gy down low little hesitation even with valent Tunis right there he’s able

To lay it up and in the NBA on the season Thunder defense so far has really been air tight down there also top 10 offensive rebounding as well Shay will hit to Trifecta just kind of silenc the crowd here they’re missing a lot of shots tonight but they’re not able to

Get a lot of those Second Chance points flash Kendrick Williams just inside the block yeah he threw that ball before he reached that point and how about this this has really been a staple for the Thunder all season long folks is their ability that shot did not look right on

The release and it was wide left from alar AO gidy slings it underneath what a pass and the Finish Kenrick Williams on the reverse so with a buck 41 left to go in the third as you see that dime from GID terrific game here in New Orleans

Folks going to go to the back door cut again SJ not going to miss it and you see the passing from the big man J will is going to get the foul minutes how about this man you talk about threading the needle that’s that’s just you know

Guys that have been playing together for a while meic fortunate that Wiggins able to pick it up as he will launch away from three Aon Wiggins dances on the rim and finally Falls in Michael this is a swish in the Box Score it’s like in baseball when you

When you get a little Texas leager look at that say it’s it’s a line drive in the Box Score that’s a s j loves that high screen from Chad hren double team back up top didn’t take the three instead valis way off balance hren flies through the air for the layup with the

Left hand the rookie at the free throw line and look at Valen Tunis he put He put him on skates man and look at this here little Yo-Yo at the end that’s what you call a he C that defense with the basketball outside hren launches and connects p is just showing you

Everything folks and in my opinion that’s a that’s a good block it look clean yeah that’s a good block jayd on the step back Jaylen Williams once again taking over the offense in the fourth quarter youngest team in association make plays this guy right here in his second

Season look at that just launched it straight up in traffic Second Chance on the same possession which is a huge contrast from game one that’s going to be an and one vasam going to the free throw line after this timeout off defense popping here early minutes of the fourth quarter

While the defense still stays strong Time Out Shay fires it crosscourt Cas Wallace planted for the three of his own and KAS Wallace finds the bottom of the net that historic win against the Utah Jazz when they put up a buck 53 Thunder here on game two of this road trip SGA

On the step back three and then sometimes you got to make a do with it baby let’s call your own number how exciting is that we got the full crew tonight full crew in the house for this road game and it’s been Jaylen Williams in the fourth quarter with 327

Left to go as Michael said it’s been Thunder basketball defense and unselfishness the timing of that for Jr to cat stat was pretty impressive he was able to redirect it Wallace open and case in Wallace second three of the night New Orleans so four really good wins as you start to

See a little bit of light at the end of that road January tunnel it’s coming one more to go my man I just want to I want to get to Detroit on Sunday afternoon and get back to Oklahoma City Sunday night as it has been terrific and you see this folks

The NBA this season snatches it away some two-way action offensively and defensively Nick is standing by thanks Chris we got a group of guys here with us uh K you guys came in here and you held them to their lowest scoring total of the Season tell me about the nastiness of this defense

Tonight uh everybody would up being aggressive on the defensive end um if we we know we got people on the perimeter we know we got people at The Rim so everybody’s been playing their part what’s your role in that defense cuz you were everywhere so many steals and deflection everywhere just being

Disruptive you know playing the passing lanes and keeping my man in front of me and Chad then your offense you guys really open things up in that second half what was the key on the offensive end uh just trusting each other uh knowing that giving it up you’re going

To get it right back and uh you know we did that uh you know not only in the second half in the first half as well and uh we put together a great 48 minutes big time physicality from you and your matchup what was your mindset

Tonight uh you know I knew big Tunis was going to bring it tonight uh with the physicality so I had to match that uh you know I just tried to do that uh you know whenever we were on the floor together awesome thank you guys congrats well these are turning into
