Atlanta Hawks vs Charlotte Hornets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 23, 2026

Atlanta's offensive barrage in the first half decided this one decisively. The Hawks and Hornets combined for 111 points through two quarters, with a particularly explosive second frame that saw 58 combined points—the game's highest-scoring quarter. By halftime, Atlanta had already built a commanding lead behind balanced scoring; that early surge proved insurmountable despite Charlotte's efforts to stay competitive early on.

The second half told a different story, as both teams combined for just 98 points over the final 24 minutes. Charlotte managed only 42 points after the break, while Atlanta added 60, turning what could have been close into a blowout. Jalen Johnson led the Hawks with 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists, while Aaron Wiggins chipped in 19 points. Nickeil Alexander-Walker contributed 14 points and 5 assists. For Charlotte, Naz Reid posted 17 points and 6 rebounds in a losing effort, and Tidjane Salaün added 11 points with 5 boards.

The final combined total landed at 209, settling well under the 226.5 market line by 17.5 points. DAGGER's pregame call for an over came up short, but a live adjustment during the game proved prescient, cashing before the second-half slowdown fully materialized. Atlanta's 47-point victory margin reflects the decisive nature of that early onslaught.
