BARCELONA, Spain (AP) Forward Enes Kanter scored 24 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat Barcelona 92-89 to conclude their preseason trip to Spain on Wednesday.

Kanter drove for a lay-up with a minute to play to put the Thunder ahead for good and avoid a second straight defeat after losing at Real Madrid on Monday.

It was the second game the Thunder have played since the departure of star forward Kevin Durant this summer to Western Conference rival the Golden State Warriors.

The Thunder heads back to the U.S. for four more preseason games, this time against NBA opponents Dallas, Memphis, Minnesota and Denver, before opening the season at the Philadelphia 76ers on Oct. 26.
