Charlotte Hornets vs Brooklyn Nets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 21, 2026

Charlotte edged Brooklyn 110–103, a seven-point road win that played out as a defensive grind despite a scorching third quarter that briefly threatened to push the game into high-octane territory. The combined 213 points landed squarely under the 219.5 market total, finishing 6.5 points shy—DAGGER leaned over and missed.

The first half moved briskly enough, with a combined 102 points split almost evenly between quarters one and two (50 and 52). Momentum shifted dramatically in the third, where the teams combined for 65 points, the game's only explosive frame. That run proved deceptive; the fourth quarter collapsed to just 46 combined points, a sharp deceleration that sealed the under. Julius Randle led Brooklyn with 33 points and 7 assists, while Michael Porter Jr. added 26, but it wasn't enough. For Charlotte, Grayson Allen paced the offense with 21 points and 4 assists, Naz Reid contributed 20 points and 11 rebounds, and Dennis Schröder chipped in 19 points and 6 assists. The Hornets' balanced scoring proved decisive in a matchup where Brooklyn's recent form (119.4 points allowed per game over the last ten) suggested vulnerability—though Charlotte's own offensive limitations (103.7 scored per game in that span) meant neither team could escape the sluggish pace that defined the night.
