HAWKS at ROCKETS | FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | October 6, 2025
Transcript
00:00Tremendously, especially with his length and his athletic, well I won't say athleticism, but his ability to stretch the floor.
00:08Jason Goebel, Brandon Schwab, and Evan Scott to officiate.
00:12And Houston was a good defensive team a year ago. They were fifth in defensive ratings.
00:17Shengun, a great passer. Sets up. Smith from the wing.
00:22Shengun at 6'11". Of course, KD when he gets out there. He's a seven-footer.
00:27Porzingis will back it home.
00:28It's more nice, nice air recovery there to come off the screen.
00:32You're welcome that shot. He can make a high percentage of both shots, that's for sure.
00:38Here's young Reed Shepard going to war.
00:41And dial up the long shot, and the rebound cleared by the Rockets.
00:46Here comes Thompson.
00:49Oh, what a move.
00:50What a move.
00:51Eason.
00:55He's beat the five-second count, and a long run by Jabari Smith to lead the league in assists.
01:04They turned the trick last year in terms of average per game.
01:08Nice drive, but a better foul.
01:09Hawks up in on Yekia Koglu after the timeout.
01:18Jalen with the back of him.
01:20Harnard.
01:22And Yekia dropping back to the bench tonight.
01:25Here's Luke.
01:26That's what he does.
01:28Both teams missing some open looks.
01:31You're knocking the rust off, Nick.
01:32Yeah, you know, and we rusty.
01:34Yeah, I'm left in the year.
01:35But we're all a little rusty right now.
01:37Oh, nice.
01:37Water down the lane.
01:39For his career at the line.
01:41Absolutely.
01:42Free throw makes and misses.
01:43They're infectious.
01:44So, the ball movement.
01:46This year, you're going to see a lot of the shit up.
01:49For the Rockets.
01:50Going to play through him a lot.
01:52Again, good ball movement.
01:54And there's Porzingis on the other side.
01:56Diving down the baseline.
01:57People were happy to see him.
01:59Shengun on Kinnar.
02:01There you go.
02:02He recognized that mismatch.
02:04Took advantage of it.
02:05He's got eight.
02:06He'll shoot for Capella.
02:07Fumbled it.
02:08Got to go.
02:10Shengun on the perimeter.
02:12Backing in.
02:13Stepping through.
02:13Got it all.
02:14Got it in.
02:15Use those shoulders.
02:17Make a little bit more space before that fade away.
02:19He's going to figure it out, man.
02:21Spinning.
02:22Oh, running.
02:27Shinhub.
02:27Oh!
02:29Kihila!
02:30Big to big passing is awesome!
02:34That's something they need to clean up without Fred as a Poggle from one big four.
02:39I told you, man.
02:39He can do that, too, Craig?
02:41I like him.
02:42Always like him.
02:45Johnson over his former T-day.
02:48Number one.
02:48You can see the improvement again of Atlanta.
02:54Lock as opposed to the steal.
02:55Youngest ever player last year was Daniels.
03:00I was going to try to pitch this to the bosses over at the network again to see if they were
03:04okay with it.
03:05But since you won't ditch the tie, I'm going to go with the tie the entire season.
03:09So Kongu dunks it down.
03:10You spent A, too much money on food and too much money on your clothes to pass that up.
03:14It's Tari Eason.
03:14It's going to be right back quickly for Houston.
03:16You want to take casual Wednesdays to a new one.
03:19No, but we're a team.
03:21Got to stick together as a team.
03:22Shigun, another one.
03:25Thompson turns it over.
03:27Hawks with the run out.
03:28Young.
03:30That's what Johnson does.
03:31Charlie Johnson.
03:32That's what he is a runner.
03:35That's the patience here from Shigun.
03:37He wants some movement, but his eyes are...
03:39Oh!
03:40Try to dunk it on Porzingis.
03:42Playing the fourth foul.
03:43Missed it.
03:44Steven Adams cleaned it up.
03:46Got there.
03:47Threw it back to the Hawks.
03:48Here's Daniels to Young.
03:54And able to contort his body.
03:59So some changes.
04:01Alpine Shigun after that great second quarter.
04:03Not starting in the third.
04:06Picks him up and then picked it away from the Kongu and laid it up.
04:08Adams and Shigun and Capella and Shigun.
04:11So, again, going to be fun season.
04:14I like that.
04:15Trailing the drop and then the stop.
04:18Adams with eight.
04:20Yeah, but the biggest thing, Craig, you talked about it earlier.
04:23You know, Steven Adams coming into camp healthy.
04:26His notability, you know, it was huge.
04:29Houston was able to maintain Steven Adams.
04:31Got to watch that handle.
04:34Shot clock winding down.
04:35That's a long two.
04:37Comfortable and, you know, knowing he can get it any time with his athleticism.
04:41Through the lane.
04:41And it's dropped in there by Riesa Shea.
04:45Right now, that's where Riesa Shea is at his best.
04:47If you're paying for it.
04:49Maybe if he uses his Landry's card, he'll pay for whatever we need.
04:52Yeah.
04:53There's Tyre Eason.
04:54Good shot to find the...
04:56Steven Adams.
04:58Tyre Eason lays it up and in.
05:00Riesa Shea, top pick in 2024 draft.
05:03Knocks that down.
05:05Shot 35.5%.
05:05That'll be a fun broadcast.
05:08That'd be a fun postgame interview.
05:10Eason with a left hand.
05:12Sposed to the score.
05:13And done with some fancy finishes we've seen.
05:18Had a fun competitive game.
05:21Thompson pirouetting.
05:26I don't know if there's a better athlete that we have in our game.
05:29I mean, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Mint Thompson.
05:31Give me another one, Craig.
05:32Alexander Walker.
05:35Circling.
05:39And into Dante.
05:40Oh, climbing the back.
05:42Playing leapfrog there.
05:43Shepard Dante is finished.
05:45On that three in the corner by Caleb Houston.
05:49Aaron Holiday, a little jitterbug.
05:51Ooh, and it's dipped in by Klick the fella.
05:59Wide open.
06:00Wide open.
06:02Probably the last guy outside of Durant that you want to leave that open.
06:05There's one area of the game offensively that they really need to improve upon.
06:08And they got two of the better you see.
06:10Corner three-point shutters in the league in Finney-Smith and Durant to turn the Hawks over.
06:14Ahead to Davidson.
06:15Slams it down.
06:16That's where Houston gets really elite when they start making those plays.
06:20Davidson's been impressive.
06:21And that three goes down, ending that run for the Rockets.
06:24Just hounding the ball.
06:26And what you know is you've got, what, Clint Capella behind you.
06:29You can be even more aggressive.
06:31Offensive rebound back to Houston.
06:33He lays it up and in.
06:34Davidson, the skip, the shot for Holiday.
06:44Ask him, you shall receive.
06:45There goes a corner three for you, Craig.
06:47And it's a great shot, man.
06:49Pretty sure that was a two.
06:54Crachey, foul on Jimmy.
06:55Good.
06:55Davison, stepping to his left.
07:03Oh!
07:05He called glass.
07:08Davidson down the baseline.
07:12Harris, back to him.
07:14Catch, high catch, high release.
07:16I've never made.
07:19Bricks for burgers.
07:21Davidson.
07:22De Capella, this time they were able to finish.
07:24But again, the one thing about Clint, man,
07:31he's a star in his role as that three-pointer goes for him.
07:36Oh, man.
07:37Right idea.
07:38Bad execution by Holiday.
07:42Man.
07:44At least with a contact back, just roll in the contact.
07:47Just give you a mature look.
07:49I mean, there's no question about that.
07:51And the shot goes down.
07:54Working on Gay.
07:55There's the help from Wallace.
07:57Picked up by Holiday.
07:58Over the top to Crawford.
08:00Nice.
08:00There he goes.
08:07There he goes, Coppin.
08:09Well, I talked everything about his expectations here,
08:14to why it was a good fit.
08:15I asked him about, you know, his relationship with his mom.
08:17And so we had a really nice discussion on how he feels about the young core in particular.
08:22And he's really, truly excited to be here.
08:25And I'm excited to see what he can do.
08:27Looking forward to it as well.
08:28Maybe he'll make his Rockets preseason debut on Wednesday as that goes down.
08:32If you want to, I guess.
08:3610 to 1 is the rough for Atlanta.
08:40There you go.
08:41I mentioned pretty check.
08:43Did he play hard?
08:43He's on me.
08:46Get Bassey on the floor.
08:47Former Spurs.
08:48Yep.
08:48You're able to hit that shot.
08:54There's no neutral in that wardrobe.
08:57No, no.
08:58It is a legend right there.
09:01And that's right.
09:02Going down.
09:10Davison to Crawford in the corner.
09:15Pretty shot.
09:16Rockets shooting it really well.
09:183-3 tonight.
09:22That goes down.
09:24It's going to be surreal seeing Kevin Durant in the Rockets uniform as much as this group's intact and improved from the seasons prior.
09:35Well, great to have the guys back out there.
