The NBA season started on October 21 this marked the start of season number 80 for the league.
Last year the Oklahoma City Thunder won the Championship and their first game this season was the banner raise and the team received their rings.


The Thunder has played five games so far this season they have won all of thier games so far.
The first two games of the season they went into double overtime.


The Oklahoma City Thunder played the Houston Rockets on October 21, this was a great start in the eyes of many Thunder fans because Kevin Durant who many thought would lead the Thunder to a championship now plays on the Rockets.


The fans thought the fact that he had to watch the raising of the first championship banner in Thunder history as an opponent was a huge in your face moment.


The start of the game went slow for the Thunder.


Although they were the first to get points on the board the Rockets met every point right back in response and at the end of the first it was Rockets 30 and Thunder 27.


The second quarter wasn’t much better than the first.


The Thunder picked it up at first but it was quickly met back with a response.


At the end of the half in the first game the score was Rockets 57 and Thunder 51.


By the third the score was Rockets 79 and the Thunder had 75 points.


The fourth is when things started to change the Thunder stepped into action and with one final shot by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander he ties the game with the score being 104 and 104.


The first overtime ended with Alperen Sengun making a two-point putback dunk tying the game at 115.


With 2.3 seconds left in the second overtime Shai gets fouled and makes both of his freethrows ending the game at Thunder 125 and the Rockets 124.
