The Thunder fell at home to the previously 0-2 Sacramento Kings, 131-120. The game was marked by the return of Russell Westbrook, but the point guard’s energy could not overcome a myriad of mistakes, missed assignments, missed free throws, and horrible defense. The loss drops the Thunder to 0-3 on the season, a mark they have not seen since they were in Seattle. The Thunder were led by Westbrook, who finished with 32-8-12, a formidable stat line to be sure, but his rust was apparent as he committed 5 turnovers and his full speed coordination was sometimes off.
Thunder vs Kings, final score: OKC’s defense melts, lose in Westbrook’s return 131-120
