NBA tonight

Can the Thunder beat the Hornets on the road? CJ? They won by 6 at home and I didn't see the game. Was it easier than the 6 points indicated? I know they were all over Golden State at home but ended up with a close final score.

New Orleans led that game 70-68 after 3 quarters. I would say it was not a misleading final score. Here is the box:

The Thunder have been one of the better road teams in the league the last few years. They play just as well on the road usually, which at times is disappointing as a season ticket holder. They just don't dominate at home like some teams.

So, yes, they can beat them. I've said all year the Hornets record was a mirage, and I don't expect that to change.

That game totally changed when Brooks sent Durant to guard West early in the 4th. West was done after that.

Thanks. I gotta get down to a Thunder game this year:)

Did the same thing tonight. West 24 points but invisible once Durant took over in the 3rd.
