Thunder vs Hawks pre-season game #3 preview: Schroder, bench look to continue progress

Game: Atlanta Hawks vs Oklahoma City Thunder

Time: 2PM CST

Location: BOK Center, Tulsa, OK

The Thunder welcome the Hawks to Tulsa, Oklahoma today for OKC’s 3rd pre-season game of the season. In last outing’s performance, we finally saw Paul George lead the charge and it culminated in fantastic results.

Heading into this game against a rebuilding Atlanta team, OKC will once again be looking to experiment with its bench unit to find positive matchups. Of particular note during the win over the Timberwolves, Ray Felton looked less for his own shot and more for others, and it had dramatic results.

One question I have heading into this one — what is up with Jerami Grant? His game is a mess. Is he trying to hard in the aftermath of his new contract?
