The home team were into the game until halftime (63-58 lead for the Pelicans). In the third quarter, guests scored 38 while allowed only 23 points, so they had a 101-81 lead before the final twelve minutes.

Oklahoma City Thunder lost four of the last five matches. In the previous game, they lost 115-104 at home against Portland Trail Blazers. Guests started the game furiously, so they had a 34-21 lead after twelve minutes. Portland had control of the game until the middle of the last quarter when Oklahoma City Thunder took a surprising lead, but that didn't last for long, so guests secured another win. Luguentz Dort was the best for the Thunder with 23 points, while Hamadou Diallo finished the game with 17 points. 

Oklahoma City Thunder should be one of the worst teams in the NBA, so I expect them to lose in the game against Memphis Grizzlies.
