New Orleans vs. OKC.
No Zion. No Chet. BI dropped 30 and so did Giddy. Trey and Herb both scored in the 20s. Dort and SGA had big games too.
My have these two franchises headed in different directions since this game. Smdh.
A positive way to look at this is that it has only taken OKC two years to go from play in team to juggernaut.

Difference between the two teams are coaching and having a generational talent that plays.
I remember thinking this was a bit of a rivalry. Then SGA took a jump, Chet got healthy, they traded away Josh Diddy for Caruso, signed Hartenstein, and proceeded to become one of the greatest teams in the history of the NBA.
