Their field goal percentage stood at a solid 47 percent, indicating efficient scoring from within the arc.


Defensively, the team has been robust as well. They managed to out-rebound their opponents by three and maintained a positive assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.3. This balance between offense and defense is crucial for maintaining momentum throughout the game.


In another recent game against Milwaukee Panthers, Charlotte exhibited an even more dominant performance with a score of 76 points and an astounding steal count of 16 – highlighting their defensive prowess that turned into offensive opportunities. With an assist-to-turnover ratio of over two, it's clear that ball movement and careful possession play are strengths for this team.


The upcoming game will test whether Charlotte can continue this upward trajectory in terms of shooting efficiency and maintaining low turnover rates while capitalizing on fast-break opportunities provided by their tenacious defense.
