It may have featured no starters for the Milwaukee Bucks, but at least they kept it close with the Oklahoma City Thunder, as they lost their first preseason game, 119-115. Despite Oklahoma City running with their starters for a good chunk of the first, Milwaukee still managed to stake a 30-27 lead when the first quarter buzzer sounded. The second brought a few fewer highlights, as OKC kept running their starters late and rebounded to snag a 55-48 lead over Milwaukee. After three, OKC still held a 79-72 lead. The fourth quarter narrowed down the stretch, but Milwaukee turned it over on two critical possessions back-to-back but managed to send it into OT on a Tim Frazier splash from three.
