Oklahoma City Thunder Preseason 

The Oklahoma City Thunder lost the NBA Championship in June, but the team gained legions of fans looking forward to 2013. Before the serious play begins on Nov. 1, the team warms up the court in Oklahoma with three preseason games and a scrimmage in October. Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden and the Thunder head to Houston for the first match on Oct. 10. The team steps out on the home court at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in downtown OKC for the first time on Oct. 16 against Charlotte. The annual Blue and White Scrimmage follows on Oct. 18 at the SpiritBank Event Center in Bixby. To play Phoenix on Oct. 19, the Thunder once again moves venues to Tulsa’s BOK Center before a preseason play (Oct. 21) against Denver back in OKC. When the Thunder meets the Spurs in San Antonio for the offical first game, team and fans all will be revved for another amazing season. www.nba.com/thunder
