Even though two of the ‘Big Three’ didn’t play for the Thunder, its MVP performed as usual in his first preseason action this season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Charlotte Hornets 122-116 Thursday in the team’s first home preseason game this season at the Paycom Center. Even though it’s the Thunder’s third preseason game, the NBA’s Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played in his first preseason minutes this season and played like his normal self.
