First crack at the defending champs falls into the Thunder’s hands. From then on in 2018-19, the Thunder will wind through a fairly balanced home-road schedule that is brimming with high-profile national television matchups in addition to crucial stretches that make good teams great.
The 82 games this year will provide the team an opportunity to learn from last year’s squad, where consistency was an issue but the organization saw how impressively it could perform when playing at its best.
First thing’s first - the NBA has chosen the Thunder to be a part of its opening night festivities on Tuesday, October 16, with a matchup on the road against the defending champion Golden State Warriors on TNT.
