At Dale F. Halton Arena, the Charlotte 49ers showcased their dominance from the onset. The first half saw them amass an impressive 46 points compared to Greensboro's 29. Their momentum didn't wane as they added another 45 points in the second half, while their defense restricted Greensboro to just 15 additional points.


The Charlotte offense was firing on all cylinders with a field goal percentage of fifty-four and three-point shooting accuracy of forty-one percent. They were particularly effective inside, scoring forty-six points in the paint and converting sixty-six percent of their two-point attempts.


Defensively, the Charlotte team was just as formidable. They amassed thirteen steals and four blocks while committing only five personal fouls throughout the game—a testament to their disciplined play style. Moreover, they capitalized on turnovers by scoring thirty-nine points off Greensboro's mistakes.


On individual performances for Charlotte, it was a collective effort that stood out rather than any single player stealing the spotlight. The team dished out twenty-one assists which speaks volumes about their unselfish play and ability to find open teammates for high-percentage shots.


In contrast, Greensboro struggled with ball control throughout the match—turning over possession twenty times—and had difficulty finding rhythm in their offense with only eight assists to show for it. Their field goal percentage settled at thirty-seven percent overall; however, they did manage to shoot an impressive forty-four percent from beyond the arc but on limited attempts.


Despite these efforts from downtown by Greensboro Pride players who made eight three-pointers during gameplay—their inability to keep pace with Charlotte’s offensive output or slow down their opponent’s scorers ultimately led to their downfall.


Looking ahead for fans of The Charlotte 49ers: mark your calendars for December 30th when they will face off against Stetson Hatters at Edmunds Center in DeLand, Florida—an event that can be caught live on ESPN+. With no predictions or assumptions made about future performances; this upcoming matchup is simply one not-to-be-missed by supporters looking forward to following their team’s season progress.
