Playing without Jalen Williams, who had a stellar Summer League opener, the OKC Thunder turned to Tre Mann yet succumbed to the Memphis Grizzlies, 86-94, to split their first two games at Salt Lake City.
Mann carried the cudgels with 28 points, on an incredible 80 percent true shooting, alongside four rebounds and two assists. Jared Butler also chipped in 16 points, six assists, and four rebounds to back him up.
OKC Thunder falls to Memphis despite Tre Mann filling up the stat sheet.
Butler scored nine of the first 13 points of the Thunder after Mann converted a floater and a jump shot to ignite an OKC Thunder offense devoid of firepower early, trailing by as big as 16 points in the opening period.
