Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Buzz City found some momentum, putting up an impressive 35 points. LaMelo Ball led this charge with his dynamic playmaking and scoring ability, contributing significantly to closing the gap. Despite this surge from Ball and his teammates like Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabaté who supported well on rebounds, they still trailed as New York managed to score consistently with another solid performance adding 26 points.


Third Quarter


The third quarter was pivotal as it highlighted what went wrong for Charlotte Hornets defensively. The Knicks outscored them by nine points in this period alone, thanks largely to their effective ball movement and shooting accuracy inside the paint where they scored most of their baskets. Ryan Kalkbrenner's defensive efforts were notable but not enough to stem New York's offensive tide which saw them extend their lead further.


Fourth Quarter


Entering into the final stretch of play during Charlotte Hornets vs New York Knicks full match report, both teams matched each other point-for-point at 29 apiece in fourth-quarter scoring; however, it was too late for any comeback from Buzz City given earlier deficits accumulated throughout previous quarters. Despite valiant efforts from players like Tidjane Salaün who showed efficiency on offense alongside Collin Sexton’s contributions off-the-bench – ultimately these were overshadowed by Mikal Bridges’ standout performance leading his team across all aspects including assists & steals which proved decisive overall victory margin here tonight!
