The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the New Orleans Pelicans at home, 122-116 to deliver their 5th straight win and move above .500 for the first time this season. Amidst an impressive win however was the loss of Russell Westbrook, who left the game in the third due to what was later described by Billy Donovan as a left ankle sprain.

After Westbrook left for good following the injury, the Thunder were once again faced with the loss of a key player with lots of time left on the game clock.
