The Hornets 51 points ties the NBA record for most points in a first quarter by a team.




Per ESPN, Charlotte’s 51-point outburst tied the NBA mark for a first quarter set by the Golden State Warriors against the Denver Nuggets in 2019. It also was a franchise record for most points in any period.


“We made a bunch of shots early. We played really four good quarters,” Hornets coach Steve Clifford said. “The starters were terrific, they set a tone. The guys that came off the bench played well, too. It was the most sustained good solid play we’ve had so far this year.”


The Hornets starters scored 114 points against the Bucks, the most points scored by the team’s starters in franchise history.


Charlotte became just the third team in the shot clock era to score 50 first-quarter points in a road game. The Warriors did so against Denver, and the Syracuse Nationals scored 50 at the San Francisco Warriors on Dec. 16, 1962.
