Oklahoma City Thunder vs Charlotte Hornets Full Game Highlights – October 9, 2025 | NBA Preseason

[Music] Third preseason game for the Thunder. Training camp’s been going on for a little over a week and away we go. The drive way off the backboard from Diabate. NSG going to work. The spin move, the left hand, and he spins it home. Man, he is so good. So slippery. Wallace got shut off. Caruso the three on target and down. Just so many injuries to so many guys. They’re top level guys including Lamela Ball who fires away that three and Lord a little late on the close out that allows ball and it’s Trey man former OKC Thunder player going to win again. He uses size and some strength on Thor. That’s a spot that he likes. Such a pivotal player season ago. Fit right in. Bridges off the catch and he’s got himself a three. Bridges is one of those guys. He’s got a good solid three-point shot. How about that little nifty little pick and roll between guard to guard action, but I’m telling you, I’m pretty solid in my church league with them three. That’s a nice looking move that time by Shay once again coming off a high screen. D trying to work his way down low as that ball snaps around to Hartstein. There’s another cut. Nicely done. There’s the passing you were talking about earlier, Michael Hartstein. Thunder doing solid job of not allowing those easy buckets in the paint. D wide open for three. The pass from SGA. Dor got around, excuse me, SGA got around it then pulls up just outside the key. Got two more and had it knocked away. Good defense by the Hornets by James on the way. Ston speedy finish. It was a beauty. He just didn’t finish. Shay got it back. Fires away and the rainbow three goes down. I tell you, got to watch the law, too. He’s a terrific three-point shooter. Had a pretty good night in South Carolina the other night. Charleston is just put his head down and everything. Wiggin heavy pressure. Ston took it away and he’s got five quick points. Challenge remaining. Mark Daniel’s going to keep it in his pocket that time. The pass. Good anticipation. Wiggins took it away. The twoon one and Barnheis are able to finish it off. One of the reasons why Thunder have a 10-point lead. Oh, SGA. My goodness. Terrific start to his career in Utah. Now he’s a Hornet. Oh, Isaiah Joe way behind the three-point line. The offense wasn’t going. They can crank it up in the third quarter. Was so big in the postseason as Wiggins first shot in the second quarter. He finds the bottom of the net. Miller gets that double team get right back to Plumbley. Jay Will bit on that shot fake and that leftly. It’s again about deepening those relationships, finding ways to make sure that all of those actions are second nature. There’s a second nature action by K Wallace. Anticipating the pass getting out on the break and laying it in. And for Case Wallace, he has seen a lot as Wiggins. They leave him wide open. So why not hit the three? He does a good job of tiptoe rebounding folks. You don’t always need to get in the air. Just get those arms straight up like he does. Look at that leg from the walk to me on that play. Oh man, nice move on the spin and scoops it home in the reverse man looking for more and he’s got more coming off the screen. Pulls up. SGA sets it up and Arstein amidst all kinds of traffic just went up and finding some leverage on the offensive end with the three ball. Chase just wide open. [Applause] [Music] Hard blows out on Caniple and he’s able to score. He got by Wallace [Music] Shay trying to get it back up to Hornets time. There’s a turnover. Twoon one here. Miller gives it up. The Got by Caruso. Come back here by the Hornets. Bridges and swept away. points up to Caruso trying to beat the angle. Sometimes he does things, you know, so strategically you’re not really sure if it’s a steal or if it’s here in the second quarter. And there’s another one. LaMelo ball from the outside. Keeps that dribble alive on Lawless anticipated the pass. Russo’s got pressure on the back side. Dor’s going to take it himself. Slam it home. Plus the foul. All right, thank you Paris giving us that nice halftime update. Coverages need to improve. No SGA out on the floor. There’s another one of those threes. There was seven for Charlotte. Pressure here with the shot clock. Jay Will fires away and somehow a miraculous shot by Gen Wallace. Is that going to count? one that nobody was expecting. I mean, Wallace had the great awareness to get the shot off with the shot pointing down as in the corner from Brandon Miller, former number two overall pick. He’s got a nice [Applause] and trey man ball and he was able to carve out some space with his shoulder right there on Watts. nice pass by little soft hands as it always has been is on the work that he puts into his game. He takes so much pride in that work that nobody sees and that’s the same approach he’s taken in training camp this season. Alex one of the really I think most exciting players in the NBA as a Thunder continue to knock down threes. That’s backto back thies. Barnheiser plays at that college for a couple years before moving on to Bradley University and eventually finds his way to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Just an unbelievable, you know, Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe that are out there on the floor right now. I got to do the things that they’re not special in. You know, the things that they’re not doing at an extremely high level. They they do so many. He’s built like a tank, man. That’s a good point. He’s got a great body. I’ll tell you what you lay one. Jay Wills going to the free throw line showing why he was drafted in the top five with that stroke and again it is Willis setting it up this time. Leons with the two-handed stop is 16 here in the final minute of the third quarter. Keep in mind they’ve cut it to four [Applause] off balance against the ground. You just want to see functionality. You want to see the system. You want to see how guys are responding in different situations as well as the Hornets. So, you don’t always want to, you know, show all of your teeth at once, but you just want to add to a lot of things that you’re trying to do out there both on both ends of the field. Passers, different scores, different ways to beat you within the offense. This is noted one-dimensional. Sexton now with 15. They’re all committed on the defensive end. Wiggins continues to go to work inside. He’s got 13 points. I just love the ambition on the dunk attempt. Balls chip back outside and another three for Trey Man who solid night continues. The hustle to get back down the floor. That’s his fourth block of the night. Now he’s banging inside and he hangs in the air bouncing off a salon for the news. He He just would not stop. And I don’t I don’t even need to say his name. You know who I’m talking about. At least on the Thunder flight at night, it’s quiet. It’s just quiet. 238 remaining. Thunder now up by a stick man. Haven’t been able to find points, but Gordon provides basically waiting on that pass to come to him. Gorman and two. He’s looked smooth in the offensive game Michael. The Thunder a minute to go. The Thunder trying to hold on to this preseason win. Nice dive by the foul in the one. Someone’s going to have to put up a shot here under five. Big time first all the way up to the rim for the jam. And Austin picks his moment. Rebound Austin. And this is going to go down as a preseason victory as this last group to go into the game holds on for the W. Thanks, Chris. Malifi, this became a close game late. What were some of the key factors for you all in making sure you came out with the victory? Uh just hustle.
