Even if the game didn't count, the Oklahoma City Thunder look like they're ready to click on all cylinders.
Wednesday's preseason game between the Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves wasn't televised on traditional TV, but it marked the return of Kevin Durant to NBA game action for the first time in almost eight months.
Durant scored 15 points on 5-of-8 shooting in 22 minutes as the Thunder won 122-99. Picking right up where he left off last season, Russell Westbrook came up two rebounds short of a triple-double, adding 14 points and 13 assists, while Enes Kanter had 16 points on 8-of-10 shooting.
Serge Ibaka led the Thunder with 18, and slapped a huge second-half block on Zach LaVine.
No. 1 pick Karl-Anthony Towns had an impressive debut for the Wolves, leading the team with 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting, adding five rebounds and three blocks. Andrew Wiggins had seven points.
