Charlotte defeated Chicago 131–99 on February 24 at the United Center, a dominant road victory that exceeded the Vegas total of 232.5 points. The Hornets' balanced attack featured Brandon Miller and Kennedy Knueppel combining for 44 points, while the visitors' 31 assists and 25 three-pointers made showcased their offensive efficiency at 51.6 percent from the field. Chicago's M. Buzelis led the Bulls with 32 points but received minimal support; the home team shot just 42.7 percent and made only 16 threes despite 19 turnovers limiting their rhythm.
