October 6th, the Hornets lost to the Thunder 114-135. After the game, Hornets coach Charles Lee was interviewed.

Speaking of the team's starting lineup, Charles Lee said: "The competitive atmosphere in this training camp is very strong and the intensity is also very high. I talked to Trey Mann, Kniper and Sexton, and I told them: You must be prepared and welcome possible starting opportunities in various ways. The season trend will tell us the final answer."

"Each of them has had very highlights in the training camp, showing outstanding performances, and proved that they are capable of staying on the court and taking on important roles. ——I think these three will play a key role in the team. But the lineup arrangements of each night may be different, and they need to accept this flexibility with an open mind. Tonight's game, we mainly want to collect some data to see which lineups perform well on the defensive end and which lineups have more advantages on the offensive end. After that, we will continue to polish and find the best lineup combination for the team every night. "

In this game, Kniper started 23 and a half points, made 6 of 13 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, and scored the highest 18 points and 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the team; Sexton played 16 minutes and 50 seconds on the bench, scored 11 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists; Mann played 17 minutes and 18 seconds on the bench, 3 of 7, scoring 7 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
