Marquis Teague scored a game-high 21 points off the bench for Oklahoma City while Reggie Williams pitched in with 20 points and nine rebounds.
Benimon led Idaho with 20 points and 13 rebounds. Shane Gibson and Lewis Jackson scored 13 points each in a game where Idaho shot 33 percent from beyond the arc (10-30). Although they held the Blue to just 40 percent shooting overall, the Stampede were outrebounded 61-33.
Idaho looks to rebound this Friday night in Sioux Falls when they visit the Skyforce.
