This matchup marked the end of the NBA preseason for both franchises, giving the coaches a final look at their rotations before regular-season action gets underway.

Turkish starting center Alperen Sengun set the tone early on. In 24 minutes on the floor, he tallied 14 points, seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks, and a steal, anchoring the interior defense while orchestrating the offense.

The bench preserved the momentum, fueled by a perimeter barrage from Bogdan Bogdanovic. The Serbian national team captain caught fire from beyond the arc, draining five three-pointers to finish with 15 points, six rebounds, one assist, and a steal in just 16 minutes.

Swiss big man Clint Capela provided solid minutes off the bench, contributing to the win with two points, three rebounds, a block, and an assist.

Oklahoma City also relied on its European contingent in this preseason finale. Belgian guard Ajay Mitchell and German center Isaiah Hartenstein both featured in the starting lineup. The 24-year-old guard logged 24 minutes, posting seven points, three rebounds, an assist, and a steal. Meanwhile, the 28-year-old big man battled in the paint for 19 minutes, grabbing eight rebounds alongside six points and an assist.

Off the bench, Spain's Aday Mara hauled down nine rebounds while adding six points, two assists, and a block in 21 minutes. German forward Christophe Tillie also saw floor time, dishing out two assists and securing one rebound in seven minutes.
