OKC Thunder vs Charlotte Hornets | Game Highlights | February 2, 2024

Looking to distribute Martin is the one who is going to defend SGA Charlotte has really struggled defending all season long been giving up a ton of points in the Thunder Bridges comes up a little bit short on that little midi that’s what we call a mid-range folks it’s called the midi

Today hren Wast no time firing away from downtown and buries it put that game almost on Ice in a game where offense was nonexistent at times as s is going to get that block out of bounds that might have been the biggest shot of the game the nuggets in a real difficult

Position Mark dnal very effusive and how the Thunder were able to handle that congested month of January Mark has done a great job of just giving these guys minutes from the start you know the Thunder continue with this R the opponents offense couple of steals already but you can’t sleep on

Their record and I thought that g young brought up a good point about that in our pregame shows if th to continue to turn over the Hornets here in the early part of this first quarter that’s leading to some easy bucks how about this still right here in transition just

Speeding up the game it’s a deadly pass where the defense just can’t recover from and there’s another block by ched holr he had five on Wednesday against Denver he’s already got one Shay putting his head down little Up and Under drops it off and hren is going to put it

Down this is a different kind of hustle play that’s a block got to get up that Loose Change off the floor in result dark shot and Martin in the game a leak for his defense dumps it off to Richards and a nice swipe down dor forces the

Turnover back the other way Shay is going to soar up for that two in stop the KN terrific and once again defense leading to offense strip the ball got to pick up the loose change because when you do this is what happens Bridges real physical player back playing consistently for

Charlotte this and all of last season his scoring has been way up that skip pass through Dort wide open that three is good Cody Martin 33% from downtown on the season Shay spinning hanging and scoring that is Unstoppable Martin couldn’t do anything they’re trying they have just had a hard time getting any

Kind of footing whatsoever on the season as Wallace just steps into that pass from Smith Wiggins in the game Usman Jen cutting across the Baseline nice pass you don’t see guys dribble that much like that on plays anymore as SGA putting his head down and able to finish

High off the window still thinking about what PJ Washington did last year in this building I am when he put up 43 there’s another three Jaylen Williams the boom from the outside as his shooting confidence that’s become routine for him but the Thunder had the offense going we go to the second here

Took some charges got some blocks hit a three that is continue to steal that basketball they’re getting in the the dribbling and there’s SGA on the other end taking advantage nine points off Shay’s been all over it boy the S side step a steal and a block that’s

Tied for the second most in the NBA this season and most of SGA steals are happening in helps side he’s reading and anticipating plays but the blocks that’s the result of his on ball prowess guys yeah SGA just a concerted effort Shay going to work on Bridges

Finds an open man A Wiggins off the catch Shar and a Wiggins has not been missing that shot all season long but it’s been allc Shay stops pulls up what a shot there’s just a certain flow to that that he’s got in the confidence one of the reasons why they’ve been able

To jump on the scoreboard Tang an extra pass Wallace he’s got himself another three k Wallace from the outside a ton of offense second highest scoring first quarter for OKC on the season 39 points they got a 20-point lead here going to the second that’s again coming up with

Another steal here HS just continue to rack up those points all turnovers 16 made fuel goals ni Little Euro step he can get it going he had a huge game in this building as Waters from the corner able to cat into the three a way that you don’t like

But Al stays in the game late pass and a be there from Wiggins Bo drew the defense in into that dunker spot kenri Williams help but the Thunder defense really complimenting everything AAR in a Wiggins me Jed chop and Lane just goes right through that Charlotte

Defense I had a big brother I know what that feels like to call on him in the neighborhood he might have a little more confidence though yeah somebody was always around two bodyguards that’s great somebody’s always around there’s Big Brother again okay that’s a big brother that’s a big brother block here

Comes right here folks Big Brother block on Brandon that man he came over from the other side it just waited waited that guy down in Denver seven-footer in Atlanta come on help me out you know Tempo yeah come on now enjoy the conversation the travel the next road

Trip will just be a one gameer in Salt Lake City early next week yeah I think the entire Thunder team as they continue to steal passes here from the offensive players that could be a Savvy move but but Smith did not he hung in there he just

Oh that’s a nice just finish there and that’s he’s a professional scorer and he’s one of the best in the game today time charl for Jaylen Brunson as you know certainly you know he’s deserving of it as the mix up one nine straight and he

Is such a big part of the success that they have had Miller the leading score for the Hornets he’s just got some smoothness to his game there’s another cut and giddy’s got another assist swe Peak moves that the Thunder been able to pull on the Hornets here in

This first half of basketball that’s man that’s just a straight line drive that have made it look easy there that’s been one of the biggest problems for Charlotte defensively in the season their on ball defense as Shay anticipating that steps right in front goes behind his back and

It sets up Wallace as he bounces up for that dunk no time remaining SGA just a menace on the defensive end he’s been a big part of those 10 turns turnovers and then little extra spice setting it up for the rookie oh that’s why he’s leading NBA and steals right there folks

Then going Coast to Coast but came out with a solid record 11 and six on the month you as you just saw on that graphity sga’s hands are all over that Charlotte defense right [Applause] now giddy keeping Smith out of the Lane Smith step back giddy with the

Deflection Smith couldn’t get the shot off Shay with the ball in his hands trying to spread things out lead is at 28 Shay lost it on the way up got fouled there’s another and [Applause] one and he had to kind of shoot it from his hip folks watch this here that’s just terrific

Concentration that’s why he’s one of the most game’s most lethal scores the Hornets get the the points as H had a play looks right away Mark dnot was so off of your point Chris about just Jet’s appetite as he drains another three Mark said that when you coach Chad

Hren you’re in a constant conversation with him the 49th there Chad that’s the guy we’re talking about right there between games for the Thunder deserve some gaps after playing 177 games in the month of January is Lou Dort Shay backing down Martin that’s Cody Martin his brother Caleb

Martin on the Miami Heat was on the Miami Heat season ago great stroke speaking of great stroke Dort finding it here little step back cre space Advantage OKC with how good he’s been able to play hren on the Baseline and was injured the majority of last

Year not a big time score nice pass underneath that’s G just kind of floating through the lane he didn’t start a couple nights ago against the defending Champion kendri Kendrick will did and he’s on the bench tonight no problem I mean these guys have accepted their role they understand

That and it’s just really been fun to watch them all develop see if the Hornets can give Eric Collins a little something as Jay will how about that block now obviously if he Chang the shot he makes it all bets of off all bets are off how about that little what do you

Call that layup I got to steal that little lollipop layup lollipop and I can’t wait cuz I got a question for Caris lawon a pop quiz that man and stay continues for the ninth time this season beic fires it over to Wiggins Wiggins to close out the third quarter bottom for

Three into the fourth quarter how about meic just snapping that missile cross CR court it’s been a celebration in this game for Oklahoma City opened it up big time they have opened up the scoreboard with plays like that find ways to contribute in different roles and kenri Williams fires up that

Three he’s been shooting the ball well from Deep over the last couple of games couldn’t get around kri was able to get the shot over him oh how about meic boy his passing his [Applause] vision tough shot for Usman J but I I I think he might have uh might

Have called that one final in a Charlotte Victory Washington had 43 that’s one thing I really miss Michael I really miss the creativity of dunks from the night you just don’t see it guys do not have number team from the East Jen right back to saw and he’s been working for that too
