Thunder defeat Nets, 98-84
One of the candidates for MVP of the summer league is OKC's rookie big man from Michigan, Mitch McGary.

Young gun Jeremy Lamb was the high point man in the game with 26 points. Brooklyn's Mason Plumlee again was the team's best player tallying 13 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.
