First Quarter


The game kicked off with the Hornets taking an early lead, scoring 35 points against the Celtics' 23. Kon Knueppel was instrumental in this quarter, contributing significantly to Buzz City's offensive surge. His shooting accuracy set the tone for what would be a dominant performance by Charlotte throughout the night.


Second Quarter


As play continued into the second quarter, Charlotte maintained their momentum by adding another 29 points to their tally while holding Boston to just 20. LaMelo Ball showcased his playmaking abilities with crucial assists that kept Boston's defense on its toes. The Green Machine struggled to find rhythm as they faced relentless pressure from Buzz City's defense.


Third Quarter


In the third quarter, both teams displayed strong defensive efforts; however, it was Charlotte's ability to capitalize on fast breaks that made a difference. Moussa Diabaté stood out defensively and offensively by securing rebounds and making pivotal plays that extended Buzz City's lead further.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw consistent performances from players like Brandon Miller and Ryan Kalkbrenner who helped seal victory for Charlotte with solid contributions on both ends of court—Miller's defensive prowess combined with Kalkbrenner’s shot-blocking skills ensured there were no late-game surprises from Boston.
