New Orleans Pelicans vs Oklahoma City Thunder Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 2, 2025

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 30-point, 7-assist night powered Oklahoma City past New Orleans, as the Thunder pulled away in a game that stayed closer than the final 31-point margin suggested. The Pelicans hung tight through two quarters—combining for 127 points in the first half—but the second half told a different story. Q3 saw 63 combined points, still competitive, yet Q4 collapsed to just 53, with OKC's 29 points overwhelming New Orleans' 24.

Zion Williamson led the Pelicans with 20 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists, while Trey Murphy III added 19 points and Jeremiah Fears contributed 16 points and 4 assists. Yet the supporting cast around Gilgeous-Alexander proved decisive: Isaiah Hartenstein posted a double-double (14 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists), and Aaron Wiggins chipped in 15 points. The combined total of 243 fell well short of the market line, underscoring New Orleans' offensive struggles—the Pelicans have allowed 123.6 points per game over their last five, and that defensive liability showed against Oklahoma City's balanced attack. The Thunder, averaging 118.6 points over their recent stretch, eclipsed that mark and controlled both the depth of scoring and the fourth-quarter tempo.
