Their shooting was also more efficient; they achieved a field goal percentage of 50 and were particularly effective from inside the paint scoring 32 points.
The Charlotte team had moments of effectiveness, especially during the first half where they scored most of their points (35), but struggled to maintain that pace in the second half adding only an additional 17 points.
