NOTES: After playing in only 27 games last season because of a fractured foot, Thunder F Kevin Durant was excited to get back to the regular season. "It feels great to play again," Durant said. "It's easy to take it for granted when you play so many games and have so many practices. But when it's taken away, you appreciate it more." ... San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich still gets excited for opening night. "It's always interesting, No. 1, because none of us are really prepared on opening night," Popovich said. "But it signals the start of the season and it's better than training camp." ... Thunder first-year coach Billy Donovan spoke on excitement of coaching his first NBA game compared with his first college game at Florida.. "I think you always have a level of anxious nervousness and excitement," Donovan said. "There's a lot of emotions that go on there. I've never been one of these guys that says nothing bothers me, I'm great. You would be less than being human if there aren't a rash of emotions you go through." ... Oklahoma City rookie Cameron Payne was inactive for his first NBA game.
