Charlotte Hornets vs Atlanta Hawks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 23, 2025

The market total of 223 looked vulnerable from the opening tip, as Charlotte and Atlanta combined for just 53 points in the first quarter—a sluggish start that set a cautious tone for the evening. The pace picked up only marginally in the second, with a combined 55 points, leaving the halftime total at 108. Neither offense had found rhythm, and the under was firmly in control heading into the break.

Everything changed in the third quarter. A combined 72 points—the game's highest-scoring frame—brought the cumulative total to 180 with one period remaining. Suddenly, the 223 line was back in play. Jalen Johnson anchored Atlanta's attack with 28 points, 8 rebounds, and 11 assists, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 23 points. For Charlotte, Kon Knueppel led the charge with 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists, supported by Collin Sexton's 22 points and Miles Bridges' 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.

The fourth quarter, however, belonged to the under. A combined 43 points left the final total at 223—a dead-even match with the market line. Atlanta held on for a 113–110 win, but the game's trajectory—slow opening, explosive third, quiet finish—meant the totals action broke nearly even, with the line itself proving prescient despite the dramatic swing in scoring pace.
