The momentum continued to shift throughout the contest, with both teams trading baskets in an entertaining back-and-forth affair.

The Hawks' offensive explosion in the third quarter proved crucial, as they shot efficiently from the field whilst limiting the Hornets' scoring opportunities through improved defensive intensity.

The fourth quarter became a tense defensive battle, with both teams managing just over 20 points each. Atlanta managed to hold their nerve in the closing stages, outscoring Charlotte 21-22 in a nail-biting finish that saw the lead change hands multiple times before the Hawks secured the three-point victory.

Jalen Johnson delivered a masterful triple-double performance, shooting an efficient 11-from-22 from the field whilst orchestrating Atlanta's offense with 11 assists. His ability to impact multiple facets of the game proved decisive, as he controlled the tempo and made crucial plays when the Hawks needed them most.
