Intro:

STORYLINE: Oaklahoma City Thunder and Philadelphia 76ers get ready for Global Games in Manchester, UK on Monday (October 7).

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Scott Brooks, Oklahoma City Coach:
"I think we're like any team in this league, you want to go in there and put yourself in a position to contend for a Championship, we're like the other 29 teams, we want to compete for an NBA Championship. We know there's a lot of work ahead and a lot of teams in this league and a lot of good players but we feel we have a good enough team to be in that position but we can't skip steps. We have every day to accomplish those goals. Everything that's worth is not going to be easy to attain and winning a Championship is worth it for all of us and we're going to be programmed and focused on really trying to get there."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Forward:
(on playing in Manchester again):
"It's great being back in this arena. We played here last summer and it's brought back a lot of memories walking in here. I'm exciting I'm back and I know the fans are going to come out and support us tonight."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Forward:
(on playing without the injured Russell Westbrook):
"We just got to lean on each other. That's what you do and when one of your main guys is out just lean on each other and we should be ok."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Evan Tuner, Philadelphia Guard:
"Yeah, he's so positive and I think coaching and stuff like that you've got to be positive. You know players play better when they're happy and that type of encouragement is great, especially for the young guys. He likes to teach, he tries to help people out and do what's best for the team, there's never ego or anything like that and that's really admirable."
