The Thunder defeated the Pelicans 124-92 at home to bring the series to 2-0. In this game, the Thunder's offensive and defensive suppression was too strong, they could continue to maintain high pressure on the offensive end, and they could also limit the Pelicans on the defensive end, which allowed the Thunder to play the whole game and complete a big victory.
After the game, the Thunder players were still relatively calm. We can clearly see that there is no excitement in each of them. Actually, it's normal, after all, this game is a big win, and it's not a scorching game. And all the players have completed the big explosion, but they punched in advance. In this case, it is normal for them not to have this feeling of excitement.
But the Pelicans were very frustrated. Especially for CJ, his overall performance is still not enough. He had 15 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals on 6-of-14 shooting, but had 4 turnovers and had a plus/minus of -27. Now he seems to have a hard time leading the team's offense, and even basically dribbling on the spot, I really don't know what he is going to do. In the end, he couldn't play well both offensively and defensively, which would hinder the team's performance on the offensive end. And CJ pulled as soon as he got to the playoffs, and the tough battle basically didn't break out, which is a problem.
In the end, when Thunder interviewed, they were still the same. Because every interview is a group of people gathered together, this is a demonstration of their team spirit. It's true that no matter who you interview, there will be several people talking together, and they will all come together to talk. This kind of atmosphere can definitely improve the overall strength of the whole team, which is not missed.
And the Pelicans are already very disadvantaged in this series. In the last game, the Pelicans didn't grasp the good situation, and the Thunder's youth army is now unstoppable, and the first place in the West is really powerful. Of course, G1 still didn't open the score because of Chet's poor offensive state. This Chet attack was in normal condition, and all the inside and outside lines were fired. As for the Pelicans, let's see what happens to Zion. If he can't come back, then the whole team will be very difficult to be revitalized, which is a huge problem for them.
