The return of former Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney has done nothing to stop the woes at the New Orleans Pelicans, with the franchise falling to a sixth-straight loss to start the season after a blowout 137-101 defeat to the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder.
It was a painful debut for Looney who missed the first five games through injury, having sustained a knee sprain during the Pelicans' first preseason game against Melbourne United at the start of the month.
