The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Utah Jazz 126–103 on November 2 at Spectrum Center, with Miles Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns combining for 53 points to lead the home team's balanced offensive attack. Charlotte shot 48.9 percent from the field and made 18 three-pointers, controlling the pace with 31 assists and an offensive rating of 122.7. The Hornets' defense proved suffocating throughout, holding Utah to just 40.9 percent shooting and forcing the Jazz to make only 7 three-pointers while recording a 122.7 defensive rating. Utah's Lauri Markkanen and Keldon George each scored 29 and 25 points respectively, but the Jazz struggled to generate offensive rhythm outside a dominant third quarter where they outscored Charlotte 38–33. The decisive difference came in the fourth quarter, when Charlotte limited Utah to just 17 points while maintaining its own scoring efficiency. Utah's 38-point third-quarter outburst proved insufficient to overcome an early deficit and the Hornets' superior three-point shooting and ball movement. Charlotte's win extends its home dominance and suggests the Jazz must improve perimeter defense heading into their next matchup.
