The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 121 - 110 Wednesday at Smoothie King Center . The Thunder ( 17 - 12 ) were once again led by their fearless leader Russell Westbrook , who put together another 40 - point performance with 42 points , 10 rebounds and seven assists in just 34 minutes . Westbrook once again carried a team that failed to get many significant contributions from its starters . Alex Abrines , however , did have a surprise performance off the bench Wednesday , scoring 18 points in 30 minutes - - just his second double - digit performance of the season . Additionally , Enes Kanter posted yet another double - double as a reserve , posting 14 points and 14 rebounds in 34 minutes . As a team , the Thunder did shoot the ball rather effectively , hitting 51 percent of their shots overall and 39 percent of their threes . The Pelicans ( 10 - 21 ) got another stellar performance out of their superstar forward Anthony Davis , as he posted 34 points and 15 rebounds in 36 minutes . And while Jrue Holiday and Terrence Jones each had great nights themselves , scoring 23 and 21 points respectively , the other nine players who saw the floor for New Orleans managed to score a total of just 32 points . Despite not having a full team effort , the game was ultimately lost for New Orleans on the boards , as they were out - rebounded by the Thunder 49 - to - 34 . Up next , the Thunder will travel to Boston on Friday to take on the Celtics , while the Pelicans will stay home Friday and play the Heat . Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis have been unstoppable in their own ways all season , but over the last two games , they 've decided to take things to another level . After his 42 - point , 10 rebound , seven - assist performance Wednesday , Westbrook has now accumulated a total of 88 points , 21 rebounds and 14 rebounds over just his last two games . Meanwhile , Anthony Davis has scored a total of 65 points and 31 rebounds in his last two outings . Both are proving they are capable of fantastic individual performances , but these performances are not always leading to victories . In games where Russell Westbrook has recorded at least 40 points , 10 rebounds and seven assists , the Thunder are 2 - 2 . For Davis , when he posts 30 points and 15 rebounds is 5 - 5 . With both records at .500 , there should be an even greater emphasis on the supporting cast to hold up their end while the superstars are exceeding expectations .
