The NBA moved a team to Oklahoma City as of Oct. 29, 2008, the season-opener for the Thunder.
After the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans Hornets played 71 games in Oklahoma City from 2005 to 2007. The strong attendance for those games no doubt played a part in landing the former Seattle SuperSonics to Oklahoma City for 2008-09.
The Thunder sold about 13,000 season tickets across all price levels, including $10 upper-level seats at the Ford Center.
Oklahoma City Thunder is in the NBA Western Conference and Northwest Division with the Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Portland Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz.
