Oklahoma City is in Europe for the start of the preseason. The Thunder played its first match against Turkey’s Fernebahçe. In the absence of Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant 24 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists could rely on Serge Ibaka to tame the Turks led by Bojan Bogdanovic (19 points) and Bo McCalebb (13points) 82-95.

The Spanish international interior that ignored the Eurobasket to rest, has cracked 6 rebounds and 15 point with 5/8 shooting, showing that he has improved his shots. The powerful forward of Congolese origin and his partners will be in Manchester on Tuesday for their second game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

A meeting that should not play Kendrick Perkins who has had a dislocated left hand finger on an offensive rebound at less than two minutes to that half-time.
