NEW ORLEANS — The buzz saw was back on Monday night.
The seesaw too.
In what's become a familiar script, the Thunder dazzled early and looked frazzled when it mattered most, blowing another big early lead in a 114-107 loss to the Pelicans.
Oklahoma City lost its sixth game this season in which it led by double digits at some point.
This time, the biggest lead was 25-6 in the first quarter, the Thunder mirroring its blazing starts against the Celtics and Kings and Spurs in games it went on to lose. This time, losing the lead didn't take long.
