The Oklahoma City Thunder had their best preseason performance on Tuesday in a 115-99 win over the Detroit Pistons.
Despite this being a preseason game, this contest felt closer to a regular season game than a scrimmage.
Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault distributed his minutes and rotation as if it was a regular season matchup between two rebuilding teams with intriguing young cores.
Thunder players that stood out include Josh Giddey, Lu Dort, Ousmane Dieng, Jalen Williams and Aleksej Pokusevski.
Here are some of the best photos from the preseason matchup as the Thunder prepare to conclude their preseason campaign on the road against the San Antonio Spurs.
