The G League lineup for the Philadelphia 76ers made things interesting against the mighty Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.

Despite most — this beat writer included — assuming that the Sixers would have their doors blown off by the NBA's best team defense and individual scorer, the nine players donning red, white and blue played with absolutely no expectation that they were going to be on the wrong end of a blowout.

The Oklahoma City Thunder wrap up a four-game road trip when they travel to face off against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. It's the season's first matchup between the two squads. The Thunder (32-6) have had two blowout wins in a row.

Coming off wins against the Knicks and Wizards, the Oklahoma City Thunder will continue their away-game stretch against Eastern Conference opponents with a matchup in Philadelphia against the 76ers.
