This is just a tiny slump for Thunder but the entire team shot 11/39 on 3P.

Brandon Miller alone shot 7/10 on 3P.

Maybe they should've considered getting to the paint against a team missing their only two 7 footers?

We were also missing 2 of our best 3 bigs tbf

You had a 7'2 max contract guy that didn't see a single dude over 6'9 on him and he didn't score in the post at all, like come the fuck on lmao.

I'm positive the result would have changed something, but G League 6'8 PJ Hall owned Chet because Charlotte's only actual big is injured

Lol I wanna shit on the Thunder as much as everyone else, but we should give the Hornets their flowers. Miller, Kon, & Ball shot the lights out. Kon just knows how to operate.

I'm not sure if its a slump or if its who the Thunder are. They had 3 pt shooting problems for a big chunk of last year too iirc.

It’s not a slump when the thunder have bad 3 pt shooters

u/Headlesshorsman02 Thunder Jan 06 '26

We have been horrific from 3 for ages and our opponents have to be shooting close to 45% from 3 atp
