Goes cold in exhibition McCain recorded eight points (3-13 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two steals over 21 minutes in Thursday's 116-89 preseason loss to the Rockets.

Impact McCain endured a particularly difficult shooting night, missing all eight attempts from three-point range after knocking down six triples against Indiana on Tuesday. His six rebounds and two steals helped offset the offensive struggles, and he didn't commit a turnover. The third-year guard remains a candidate for reserve backcourt minutes, though his shooting consistency will be important.

Strikes for 20 points Tuesday McCain amassed 20 points (6-13 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 19 minutes in Tuesday's 114-112 preseason win over the Pacers in overtime.

Impact McCain returned to the lineup after sitting out Monday's loss to Atlanta. The Duke product caught fire from beyond the arc, knocking down a game-high six triples and leading the Thunder in scoring.
