RayJ Dennis' three with 11.6 seconds left lifts the Hawks past the Thunder 113-110, and Minnesota beat the Knicks by 18: Monday's NBA preseason roundup

Aday Mara caught an alley-oop from Bennett Stirtz and dunked it to put the Oklahoma City Thunder ahead 107-106 with 57.8 seconds left in Atlanta on Monday night. The Hawks scored the next seven points. RayJ Dennis buried a 25-foot three with 11.6 seconds left to make it 111-107, then stole the ball and set up Kobe Johnson for a layup, and Atlanta won the preseason game 113-110.

It was one of five preseason games on Monday. Minnesota beat the Knicks 122-104 at Madison Square Garden, Utah beat San Antonio 119-109, Brooklyn won 131-122 at Washington, and Portland beat the London Lions 119-66. These games do not count in the standings, and several teams rested regulars.

Asa Newell answered with a turnaround jumper and, after Mara's dunk, a driving dunk for 108-107 with 42.9 seconds left. Then came Dennis. Stirtz hit a three with 0.5 seconds left for the final score.

Stirtz scored 26 points with six threes in 38 minutes, the most in the game. Barnhizer had 20 and eight rebounds, and Mara 17 points, 10 rebounds and six assists.
