Lately, for the Thunder, that’s the last place they want to be. The third quarter has been a house of horrors for OKC, outscored in each third quarter of their last six losses, by an average of 8.0 points. That included the game against the Pelicans. Predictably, Anthony’s jumper was followed by a 16-5 Pelicans run over a four-minute span that turned a comfortable lead into a deficit, and OKC would go on to lose the game, 114-107....
