The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Charlotte Hornets 118–113 on February 20 at Spectrum Center, with Donovan Mitchell leading the visitors with 32 points while Jarrett Allen added 26 points in a balanced offensive effort. K. Knueppel paced Charlotte with 33 points, but the Hornets' supporting cast could not generate enough firepower, with B. Miller contributing 18 points off the bench. Cleveland's superior efficiency proved decisive: the Cavaliers shot 53.2 percent from the field compared to Charlotte's 39.1 percent, and though the Hornets made 20 three-pointers to Cleveland's 10, the gap in overall field-goal percentage proved insurmountable. The Cavaliers' defense was stifling, recording 10 steals while holding Charlotte to a 121.9 offensive rating against their own 130.6 mark. The game fell short of the Vegas total line of 229.5, suggesting both teams prioritized containment down the stretch. Cleveland's balanced attack—24 assists and 12 turnovers—showcased a disciplined road performance that keeps them in contention for Eastern Conference positioning.
