Oklahoma City Thunder vs Washington Wizards Full Game Highlights 3rd Qtr|Oct 30| 2025 NBA Highlights

Thanks, Chris. Well, OKC went on a nice run there to end the first half. And I asked Thunder assistant coach David Akinay what was working so well for the Thunder during that stretch. He told me it was about getting stops. Washington wants to play fast offensively, so it’s important for the Thunder to get back and force the Wizards to play against their set defense. That’s what the guys have done a great job communicating and being really physical on the ball, guys. All right, thank you Paris. And that’s tough to do at times, Michael, where got a nice little mid-range shot to open up the scoring of the third quarter, but She said something that is very true that Washington really wants to play quickly on the offensive end. Yeah. And they’ve been trying to do that every chance they’ve gotten them. So if the Thunder matched them in those types of situations right now, they got the Wizards trying to figure out what they want to do with the basketball. That’s going to be a turnover. And and that’s what pressure does. Pressure on the perimeter with the ball handlers not allowing him to get comfortable. You know, kind of like that longtail cat in a room full of rocking chairs. That’s that may be a tie to a little Halloween, maybe. Okay, we’ll forget about that. Ponytailed cats. The rocking chairs. Hey, going you’re going way back. I don’t think people below 30 going to get that reference. Maybe even below 40. It’s early, man. It’s early for everybody. This is just a Thunder six game. Hey, he dug deep for that one. Sar set such a good screen. The ball swings over to McCullum who has not shot it well tonight or at any point in the early part of the season, but he sees that three. You don’t want a guy like CJ McCullum getting going. He could be very streaky kick team coming at Shay while he’s dribbling the basketball beyond that three-point line. He has been finding his teammates in those types of situations as well. Four assist. Now he’s going to have to make something happen. Dwindling shot clock looking for the three on the step back. Didn’t get it as McCullum quickly into the front court. He and Dorne had some battles. McCollum was a member of the New Orleans Pelicans and we get I thought we had got that out of the way but we’re making up for the the slow start that we had Michael in the early part of the season. Yeah, that was done. Shay going to work on McCollum and we’re going to get a foul on the floor. Oh, so the secret is out. They know this guy’s with the basketball. Wallace spotted up perfectly and that stroke is pure. Well, there was not much resistance there. He had a clean look. Trying to unpack that three-point shot here in the first six games of the season. George has had it going for himself. 53% from downtown coming in. He’s been excellent. Yeah, he’s got a soft touch, too. You know, such a young player. His scoring has gone way up. 8.7 points last year. He’s up to 20. A foul on the Wizards. Nice pass. SGA. Extra one. Hardenstein got to get out of the key of the turn and the left hand. Nicely done. There was no worry whatsoever. And he’s so unselfish with the basketball. Little bit of a pocket pass over to Case Wallace. May have caught him off guard. Ball ricocheted back to him. He was able to put it in the bucket for his 10th point. You just got an understanding right now on the offensive end. Michael being a good rebounder, a good passer, a good score. He’s going to be a foul away from the basketball. But you look at him when he’s on the floor. He’s always like a playmaker out there like every two or three plays. Oh, another patient play that time. Wiggins working underneath. with a little hesitation to negate the shot blockility of Thunder. Their largest lead of the night at 13. Those are one of those gamble plays. Get start whatever the age of your kids are. Score big on Kellanova products like Cheeits and Pringles. And basically before bedtime, before bath time, you’re going it could be lights on. It doesn’t matter. It could be daylight for that matter. You just trick or treat. But if you’re a little bit older, I want it as dark as can be. As long as if I’m going trick-or-treating on my own and I don’t have kids, forget it. I want it spooky. I got you. What about you? I I I just couldn’t remember like, you know, what does the situation do you as George knocks down a three shade? Nice little eight footer along the baseline for the Thunder straight buckets. I just think it’s I Oh, it’s it’s you know, I see people going out early at the balls and Oh, this is a nice play here. Armstein with a beautiful I thought you were going to do the Princeton reference there. Pete Karu. Yeah, Peter Carill. Yeah, the motion offense. One of the hardest offense they ever gone folks at any level of play a long time coach at Princeton University. You know who you’re talking about and saw from the outside no good. That offense took down powerhouse UCLA back in the day. Remember that in the NCA tournament with all those back door cuts. There is Dort spotted up. They found him on the outside. No good on the three time defense does not get back the wizards want to do. They got ball handlers out there including the sevenfooter and Alex that likes to go coast to coast working on the rookie. Oh, he goes into the fade away. That was beautiful. My goodness. waited for the defense, the double team to pull away before he took that shot. It was a difficult shot. You know who would that good defense inside like Kobe Bryant on that fade away from SGA as McCullum has three Oklahoma City. So fantastic to see this group having some success in terms of building something from the ground up. Mark Daniel said before the game he’s not surprised to see them building in such a strategic way given the way that Michael Wer and Will Dawkins think and operate. As you can tell, it’s not only just the player development that have had their starts here and gone on to be successful with other programs, coaches, and front office personnel as well as Casey Wallace hits a big three coming out of that timeout for the Thunder. Ryan Kee certainly getting his first head coaching job and I got that’s one of them but go back where did he get his starter UC Irvine? Yes see Irvine right with Scott Brooks. Scott Brooks. Thank you. Yeah absolutely. Okay. I didn’t you know try to do process process of elimination there. You did a good job. You got me. Yeah. Yeah. You get you get the candy corn now. Oh lucky me. Wow. Congratulations give him a Milky Way. It’s almost just as bad. Jeez, Mike just dismissing the UNLV answer there. It’s part of the equation, man. That’s not a good foul. Young players do that. Can’t pressure Shay in the back court. He’s just too clever and he’s too good because you just gave him two free throws. That’s a learning experience.
