The Oklahoma City Thunder came in clutch down the stretch against the New Orleans Pelicans, using a second half surge to move on in the NBA play-in tournament
Josh Giddey and Lu Dort hit clutch free throws, but Ingram redeemed himself by hitting a three-pointer to bring the lead down to one. Gilgeous-Alexander had just seven points at the half, but he finished the game with 32 points to lead the Thunder in that category, going 11-for-22 from the field, including a perfect 8-of-8 from the charity stripe with five rebounds and three assists.
But he wasn’t alone to pull off this win, of course. Giddey stepped up with 31 points, while hauling in nine rebounds and dishing out 10 assists as the 20-year-old was red-hot in his first taste of the postseason. Jonas Valanciunas had the perfect matchup in the paint, as the Thunder don’t possess a true center on the roster right now. He had a double-double in the first half with 11 points and 12 rebounds.
