How Thunder veteran Lu Dort trolled Pacers guards with the NBA Finals' Larry O'Brien trophy at a recent event.

The Thunder will host the Houston Rockets for the 2025-26 Opening Night on Tuesday, Oct. 21. As tradition, they will celebrate their NBA championship with a pregame banner drop and ring ceremony. Kevin Durant's attendance across the court gives this matchup some extra juice as it will start the NBC era.

Thunder fans can catch multiple games on ESPN, NBC/Peacock, Prime Video, and ABC as Oklahoma City kicks off its 2025-26 championship defense.
