Charlotte carries a 57-50 halftime edge over Brooklyn, powered by Grayson Allen’s scorching first half.

On Wednesday, Nov. 4, Charlotte built a 57-50 halftime lead over Brooklyn, stretching a three-point advantage after the first quarter with a 33-29 second. Grayson Allen has 20 points on 6-of-8 shooting, including five makes from beyond the arc in 13:37. Julius Randle leads Brooklyn with 14 points, but the Nets need more support to turn around a game between the 3-5, 21st-ranked Hornets and the 1-6, 25th-ranked Nets. After the break, watch whether Brooklyn can slow Allen’s perimeter attack and whether Charlotte can keep its seven-point cushion.
