With the entire starting lineup out due to rest, the Oklahoma City Thunder suffered their second loss of the preseason on Sunday in a 117-115 decision agains the Charlotte Hornets. Despite missing most of their star power, OKC managed to keep the game close, and a 4th quarter push nearly put the Thunder over the ege.
Tonight the Thunder hosts the Milwaukee Bucks in what could make for one of the most exciting matchups of the entire NBA preseason. Damian Lillard has joined Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks, and if everybody plays, there will be plenty of talent on the court at any given moment.
