The 27 points scored by Kevin Durant in his comeback from a foot injury just wasn't enough for Oklahoma City to overcome Tyreke Evans' relentless drives to the hoop or Anthony Davis' all-around dominance.
Evans scored 15 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter, Davis had 25 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks, and the New Orleans Pelicans snapped a three-game skid with a 112-104 victory over the Thunder on Tuesday night.
The Pelicans had three players with double-doubles. Jrue Holiday had 23 points and 10 assists while Ryan Anderson had 23 points and 11 rebounds.
Russell Westbrook, in his second game back from a hand injury for the Thunder, scored 21.
