In an impressive display at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, the Hornets showcased their offensive capabilities by maintaining a field goal percentage of 50 and converting nearly half of their three-point attempts with a remarkable accuracy rate of 48 percent. The team's efficiency was evident as they scored 120 points over four quarters with contributions across the board. The first quarter saw them trailing with only 24 points but they quickly turned things around by adding another 33 points before halftime.
The Hornets' performance was bolstered by their ability to draw fouls and capitalize on free throws, achieving an impressive success rate of 82 percent from the line. Their dominance in rebounding was also notable as they grabbed a total of 51 rebounds – ten offensively and forty-one defensively – which played a crucial role in maintaining possession and creating second-chance opportunities that resulted in an additional fifteen points for the team.

The home team Cavaliers put up a strong fight despite falling short on this occasion. They managed to lead for most part of the game (39:11 minutes) and had thirteen more possessions than Charlotte; however, they could not maintain this advantage until the end due largely to lower shooting percentages compared to those posted by Charlotte – forty-seven percent from both field goals and two-point range respectively.
