The Pelicans are now 0-4 in summer league play after falling 95-81 to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night. The Thunder sparked a second-half comeback by outscoring the Pelicans 34-23 in the third quarter. Despite suffering another loss, there was a huge bright spot for New Orleans in Trey Alexander.
Alexander had his best performance of the summer league last night, scoring 25 points on an efficient 7-for-13 from the field and 5-for-9 from three. He also pitched in 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals.
This type of complete game was something fans were waiting for from Alexander, as over his first two games, he had only totaled 5 points in 33 minutes.
