The Thunder lost yet another close game despite a triple-double by Russell Westbrook (27/11/11). Paul George (16/2/2) got in early foul trouble for the Thunder, which resulted in Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony (20/8/3) shouldering more of the offensive load. However, Westbrook went just 10-of-29 and Melo went 9-of-24. Combined, the two went 3-for-16 from three. Andre Drummond (17/14/3) had another double-double in the narrow win for the Pistons, who continued their hot start to the season.
