Indiana Pacers 96-114 Oklahoma City Thunder

After two losses in a row, the Thunder received the Pacers to regain the taste of victory. If Victor Oladipo (35 points) shone for his return to Oklahoma City, Russell Westbrook (28 points, 16 assists, 10 rebounds) perfectly orchestrated the game with his second double triple of the season. Carmelo Anthony (28 points, 10 rebounds) was also brilliant in the success of the Thunder (114-96).

On the other hand, Paul George (10 points, 6 faults) would have hoped for a better fate to face his former team. We were waiting for Paul George and we had Victor Oladipo. For these doubles reunion between Thunder and Pacers, it is the back who makes the show at the beginning of the match. Supersonic, he scored 14 points at 5/7 on shots, obviously at ease on his former playground. Jerami Grant and Westbrook go two-three points and the gap still swells. The Thunder's defense, Huestis in the lead, reduces the Pacers to the bare minimum. Shots on generous whistles, Lance Stephenson who goes down Melo in a catch catch.

The Pacers have a reaction of pride in the last quarter. They come back under ten points but the OKC bench is present. Raymond Felton fully assumes that Paul George is fouled and must leave the game with 10 points and a huge frustration. As a symbol, it is Patrick Patterson who showered for good the blow of hot Oladipo with a 3-points in the corner, his first under the tunic of the Thunder. Indiana will not come back (114-96). Victor Oladipo finished best scorer at 35 points, but Russell Westbrook beat him with a triple double: 28 points, 16 assists, 10 rebounds and victory.
