Oklahoma City defeated Charlotte 109–96 on November 15 at Spectrum Center, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the Thunder with 33 points and Chet Holmgren adding 25 in a dominant road performance. OKC's offensive efficiency was evident in their 50.6 field-goal percentage and 26 assists, while the Thunder's defense suffocated the Hornets, holding them to just 38.5 percent shooting and forcing them into a third-quarter collapse where Charlotte managed only 18 points. The Thunder's third quarter proved decisive, outscoring Charlotte 32–18 to build an insurmountable lead. Charlotte's M. Bridges led the Hornets with 15 points, and R. Kalkbrenner contributed 13, but the home team's 42 rebounds and 23 assists couldn't overcome their 115.5 defensive rating. OKC's 50-rebound advantage and nine steals underscored their control throughout, while Charlotte's 12 turnovers compounded their struggles. The Thunder's balanced attack and defensive intensity position them as a serious Western Conference contender moving forward.
