Hornets' Offensive and Defensive Mastery


The Charlotte Hornets demonstrated exceptional skill and coordination throughout the game. Their offensive strategy was evident in their 50 percent field goal shooting and an even more impressive 42 percent from beyond the arc. With 18 three-pointers made, they capitalized on opportunities from long range to stretch the Grizzlies' defense.


Defensively, the Hornets were just as formidable. They limited the Grizzlies to a mere 37 percent shooting from the field and a disappointing 33 percent from three-point territory. The defensive pressure resulted in nine steals and six blocks for Charlotte, underlining their aggressive defensive stance that disrupted Memphis's rhythm.

Standout Performances


Several players stood out with remarkable individual performances that contributed significantly to this win. Tre Mann led his team with an outstanding 19 points, demonstrating his scoring ability by shooting 62 percent from the field and securing three rebounds along with two assists. Brandon Miller also shone brightly by contributing 22 points on an efficient shooting night where he hit 75 percent of his three-point attempts.


On defense, Harry Giles III made his presence felt by notching two blocks alongside his scoring efforts. Moussa Diabate's perfect shooting night (100 percent from both field goals and free throws) for ten points offensively added depth to Charlotte's bench production which proved too much for Memphis to handle.
