First Quarter


The Warriors set the tone early at Chase Center, outscoring Buzz City by an impressive margin in the first quarter. Stephen Curry led the charge with his precision shooting, contributing significantly to Golden State's early lead. The Dubs' defense was equally effective, limiting Charlotte's offensive opportunities and forcing turnovers that translated into fast-break points.


Second Quarter


As the second quarter unfolded, both teams displayed resilience. The Hornets attempted to close the gap with LaMelo Ball orchestrating plays and facilitating scoring opportunities for his teammates. Despite their efforts, Golden State maintained control thanks to contributions from Draymond Green and Buddy Hield, who were instrumental in maintaining their team's momentum.


Third Quarter


The third quarter proved pivotal as Golden State unleashed an offensive barrage that left Buzz City reeling. Brandin Podziemski showcased his versatility by not only scoring but also setting up plays for others. This period saw a remarkable display of teamwork from the Warriors as they extended their lead significantly over Charlotte.


Fourth Quarter


In the final stretch of play, both teams continued to battle fiercely; however, it was clear that Golden State had established an insurmountable advantage. Moses Moody added crucial points off the bench while Quinten Post provided solid defensive support under pressure from Hive's offense.


Despite valiant efforts by Charlotte throughout various phases of this matchup—particularly during key moments—their attempts were ultimately thwarted by a well-rounded performance from every corner on behalf of Steve Kerr’s squad: efficient shooting percentages across multiple categories coupled alongside strategic ball movement ensured victory remained firmly within grasp until time expired upon completion here tonight!
