The Thunder never trailed on Sunday in a 135-114 preseason win over the Charlotte Hornets in Charleston, South Carolina, getting 23 points from Aaron Wiggins and 20 from Chris Youngblood. Oklahoma City sat most of its regular rotation players for Sunday’s game. 

It was a productive offseason for the champs, who signed MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, young big man Chet Holmgren, and wing Jalen Williams to extensions in July. They also added Georgetown big man Thomas Sorber with the 15th overall pick, but he tore his right ACL during an offseason workout in September.

The big addition in Dallas, which missed the playoffs after losing the play-in matchup for the No. 8 seed, is No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg out of Duke. The Mavs signed veteran D’Angelo Russell to fill in at the point guard spot while Kyrie Irving recovers from surgery to repair a torn ACL, extended Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington, and brought back veteran guard Dante Exum.

This is a great NBA matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
