Report: Thunder to open season against Spurs
The Oklahoma City Thunder will open their season against the San Antonio Spurs, Darnell Mayberry of The Oklahoman reports.
The two championship hopefuls met in the 2014 Western Conference finals, with the Spurs defeating the Thunder in six games before going on to capture the title.

The game will be a marquee matchup featuring seven current and former All-Stars.
Injuries to Serge Ibaka and Kevin Durant stripped the intrigue from their matchups last season. Durant missed all three contests, while Ibaka suited up for just one of three games between San Antonio and OKC.
To find an accurate approximate for the game, look no further than Game 6 of the 2014 West finals.
