Your Thunder didn’t sign an impact free agent in the offseason. It did something better. It welcomed back Maynor.

The Thunder beat the Charlotte Bobcats 120-98 Tuesday night in its first home exhibition game this season, and what a reminder of what the Boomers missed last season when Maynor went down with a knee injury nine games into the season.

A cool hand. A settling force. A silky facilitator in a land of Olympians and all-stars.

Maynor had seven assists and just one turnover in 19 minutes against the Bobcats. Ten points on 3-of-5 shooting. Even had five rebounds.

“Really good to see him out there,” Scotty Brooks said. “He’s solid, as we all know. He makes good decisions. He facilitates the offense. He gets everyone involved.”
