Hornets Set Franchise Record with 26 3-Pointers in Victory Over Spurs

Charlotte dominates San Antonio 145-134 behind LaMelo Ball's 27 points, 14 assists, and a record-breaking shooting performance.

The Charlotte Hornets made a franchise-record 26 three-pointers, shooting 56.5% from beyond the arc, in their win against the San Antonio Spurs.
LaMelo Ball led the Hornets with 27 points, 14 assists, and seven three-pointers, while Nick Smith Jr. added a career-high 26 points, including six first-half threes.
Charlotte built a 31-point lead during the game, scoring 81 points in the first half, the most in any half this season for the team.
The Spurs played without star guard De’Aaron Fox, who was recently ruled out for the season due to tendon damage in his left pinkie, and rookie Stephon Castle stepped up with 26 points in his return to the starting lineup.
The loss leaves the Spurs with an 8th-best lottery position, as they shift focus toward rebuilding and player development for the remainder of the season.
