The Oklahoma City Thunder withstood an inspired FC Barcelona effort to prevail 92-89 Wednesday afternoon. Enes Kanter (24) finished as the Thunder’s high-points man. OKC’s dynamic duo of Russell Westbrook (12) and Victor Oladipo (10) joined Kanter in double-digits. Overall, eleven Thunder players scratched the scorer’s column.
For celebrated FC Barcelona, former Portland Trail Blazer Victor Claver led the way with 25 points. In total, the perennial Liga ACB powerhouse connected on 14-of-31 (45.2%) three-point field goals.
Oklahoma City’s deficiency in switching screens and contesting deep attempts almost resulted in a winless overseas excursion for the Northeast Division Champs.
