On October 24, the NBA regular season continued with the Charlotte Hornets securing a 110-105 comeback victory over the Houston Rockets, marking their opening win.
In this game, the Hornets found themselves in a difficult position from the start, being completely dominated by the Rockets and trailing by as many as 18 points. However, they mounted a fierce comeback in the second half, successfully narrowing the gap. In the fourth quarter, they managed to take the lead and, despite several ties, key performances by Mann and Ball sealed the deal. Gu Wei also hit a crucial three-pointer, helping the team complete the big comeback.
Ball was on fire, hitting 10 of 20 shots and a perfect 10 of 10 from the free-throw line, scoring a game-high 34 points, along with 8 rebounds and 11 assists. After Miller’s early exit due to injury, Mann came off the bench as a surprise weapon, making 8 of 16 shots, including 4 of 8 from beyond the arc, for 24 points and 6 rebounds. The Hornets’ ability to stage the comeback was largely due to these two players, leaving the Rockets with no answer and ultimately suffering a significant defeat.
