This result leaves the Grizzlies with a 0-1 record in their pre-season campaign, while the Hornets start strong at 1-0.

First Quarter

The opening quarter saw both teams come out firing, but it was Charlotte who took an early lead with a score of 37 points compared to Memphis's 30. The Grizzlies relied heavily on their three-point shooting, attempting an impressive number of shots from beyond the arc. Javon Small led his team by contributing significantly to this effort with his sharp shooting skills.

Second Quarter

In the second quarter, Memphis continued to push hard but struggled to close down Buzz City's offensive plays. Vince Williams Jr.'s defensive efforts were notable as he managed two steals and six assists during this period. Despite these efforts, Charlotte extended their lead by adding another 29 points against Memphis's 27.

Third Quarter
