The Oklahoma City Thunder picked up their second win of the season on Tuesday against the visiting Los Angeles Clippers to move to 2-4 on the season. After trailing by double digits in the first half, the Thunder outscored the Clippers 39-10 in the third quarter, the largest positive margin in a single quarter in franchise history.

Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets have weathered a fairly difficult scheduled so far, and they sit at 4-4. Kemba Walker leads the Hornets with 30.1 PPG while shooting an impressive 41.4% from three on almost 11 attempts per game.

The point guard matchup between Russell Westbrook and Walker will be the matchup to watch tonight, but the Hornets have a number of other players who have the ability to put up big numbers on any given night.
