It is doing to be a learning process for both of us, but we will figure it out.The Thunder were without center Steven Adams, who injured his right ankle during Mondays 142-137 overtime loss at Madrid. His absence was noticed in the first half when center Ante Tomic scored 10 points.Obviously with Russell we are not going to play him a lot of minutes, and Steven Adams is hurt, so it gave our new guys a chance to play, Donovan said.

I think it was very beneficial.Barcelona was led by former Portland Trailblazer forward Victor Claver, who scored a game-high 25 points.Westbrook thrilled the Catalan crowd with a flying dunk late in the first quarter before taking to the bench until halftime.Without their on-court leader, the Thunder fell nine points behind before rookie Domantas Sabonis capped a rally with a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to two points (47-45) entering the third quarter.Alex Abrines, who joined the Thunder from Barcelona this offseason, also scored six points late in the final period to help put Kanter in position to get the win.After Claver hit a 3-pointer to put the hosts up by three points, Kanter scored games last six points with a jumper, the go-ahead lay-up, and a pair of free throws.I am happy the game worked out like it did because our guys got some good experience, Donovan said.

It put them in crucial situations down the stretch.It was the second game the Thunder have played since the departure of Durant this summer to Western Conference rival the Golden State Warriors.The Thunder heads back to the U.S. for four more preseason games, this time against NBA opponents Dallas, Memphis, Minnesota and Denver, before opening the season at the Philadelphia 76ers on Oct. 26.
