The Hornets showcased an impressive performance, led by Miles Bridges, who scored 29 points, while rookie Kon Knueppel contributed a career-high 24 points at the Spectrum Center.

The Hornets, playing without key players Brandon Miller (shoulder subluxation) and LaMelo Ball (ankle impingement), surged ahead early, taking a commanding 39-25 lead after the first quarter. They extended their advantage to an astonishing 28 points by halftime, fueled by Knueppel’s aggressive shooting and Moussa Diabate‘s standout performance of 17 points and 12 rebounds.

Despite a strong effort from Jazz players Lauri Markkanen with 29 points and Keyonte George adding 25 points, Utah’s comeback attempts fell short. They managed to close the gap to 16 points late in the third quarter, but Diabate’s buzzer-beater rebound shifted the momentum back to Charlotte.
