The Oklahoma City Thunder electrified fans with a 94-92 Game 1 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA Western Conference playoffs! 🌪️⚡ The game saw 20 lead changes and a dramatic fourth-quarter showdown, proving why playoff basketball is pure adrenaline.
After a 10-point Thunder lead nearly melted away during a 5-minute scoring drought, the Pelicans had FOUR chances to snatch victory in the final 28 seconds 🕒 – but couldn’t convert. \"It felt like a chess match with jetpacks,\" one courtside fan tweeted, summing up the intensity.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) led OKC with 28 points, but Pelicans’ deep wing rotation – Herbert Jones, Brandon Ingram, and Trey Murphy III – made him fight for every basket. 🛡️💪 Despite being the West’s #8 seed, New Orleans showed they’re no underdog to underestimate.
