Following months of anticipation, the 2017-18 regular season calendar is set for Oklahoma City Thunder basketball.
Oklahoma City begins its 82-game slate with an Oct 19 home debut vs. the New York Knicks. Last season, OKC swept their Eastern Conference rival 2-0.
This contest is followed by back-to-back division battles opposite defending Northwest Champion Utah and revitalized Minnesota.
Then, the first marquee matchup of OKC’s season comes when Indiana visits “The Peake” Oct 25. This will be the first of two meetings which pit Paul George against his former team.
George’s Indy return will be televised Dec 13 on ESPN.
