Brooklyn Nets vs Charlotte Hornets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 22, 2025

The market total sat at 253, and Charlotte's dominant second half made clear that the Hornets would cruise past it. Brooklyn's opening quarter kept pace early—70 combined points in Q1 alone established a brisk tempo—but the Nets couldn't sustain their offensive energy. After a marginally slower Q2 with 67 combined points, the game hit its ceiling in Q3 with 71 combined, the highest-scoring frame. By then, however, Charlotte had seized control, and the fourth quarter's collapse to just 45 combined points sealed a lopsided finish: the Hornets won 136–117, with a combined total of 253.

Brandon Miller led Charlotte's charge with 25 points and 7 assists, while LaMelo Ball chipped in 20 points and 8 assists. Miles Bridges anchored the rebounding effort with 11 boards and 18 points. For Brooklyn, Nic Claxton's 17 points and Cam Thomas's 15 pointed toward offensive effort, but neither made the difference. Egor Dëmin added 14 points and 5 rebounds off the bench in a losing cause.

The first half's 137 combined points suggested an over-pace environment, yet the second half compressed to 116, delivering the exact market total on a slower, more controlled finish. Charlotte's 25-point fourth quarter signaled defensive dominance when it mattered most, as Brooklyn mustered just 20 in the final frame.
