NBA Preseason Without Serbians: Topić and Vukčević Sidelined

At State Farm Arena, the Atlanta Hawks edged out the Oklahoma City Thunder 113-110 in a thrilling contest that featured 15 lead changes.

The game came down to the wire in the final minute. With just 12 seconds remaining, Dennis drained a clutch three-pointer to give the Hawks a 111-107 lead, before coming up with a steal to set up Johnson for a game-sealing layup at 113-107.

Stirtz responded with a late triple to make it 113-110, but Oklahoma City ran out of time.

Jock Landale led Atlanta's scoring with 17 points, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 16.

Bennett Stirtz paced the Thunder with 26 points, and Brooks Barnhizer chipped in with 20. Nikola Topić missed the contest due to back issues by coach's decision.

Over at Capital One Arena, the Brooklyn Nets defeated the Washington Wizards 131-122.

Michael Porter was in top form, leading the Nets with 22 points, while Nolan Traore added 17.

On the other side, Kyshawn George stood out for the Wizards with 21 points. Tristan Vukčević remained sidelined for this matchup. As a reminder, he suffered a left hip injury in early October.

At the Moda Center, the Portland Trail Blazers cruised to a commanding 119-66 victory over the London Lions, who made history as the first British club to take on an NBA franchise.

The San Antonio Spurs rested several starters, including French phenom Victor Wembanyama, and fell 119-109 to the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center.

Anthony Edwards poured in 26 points at Madison Square Garden to guide the Minnesota Timberwolves past the New York Knicks 122-104.
