Second Quarter


As the second quarter unfolded, Charlotte's LaMelo Ball showcased his playmaking skills by contributing significantly to their total of 28 points in this period. Despite Ball's efforts and his impressive tally of assists and rebounds from previous games, Indiana maintained their momentum by adding another 27 points to their score.


Third Quarter


In a tightly contested third quarter, Moussa Diabaté made his presence felt on both ends of the court for Buzz City. His defensive prowess was evident as he contributed blocks and rebounds that helped keep Charlotte competitive. However, Indiana continued to capitalize on turnovers from Buzz City players like Brandon Miller and Collin Sexton to extend their lead slightly with a total of 30 points compared to Charlotte's 29.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw intense back-and-forth action as both teams vied for control. Miles Bridges stepped up for Hive with crucial baskets that kept them within striking distance throughout this period. Despite outscoring Indiana in fast break opportunities during this segment (14 fast break points), it wasn't enough for Buzz City as they fell short by just two points when time expired.


In terms of bench contributions during this matchup between these Eastern Conference rivals: Kon Knueppel stood out among reserves; however collectively they couldn't quite match up against Indiana’s depth which provided them an edge especially through key moments late into regulation playtime - ultimately leading towards what would be considered one pivotal factor determining outcome here today!
