Knoxville Blazers dominated Charlotte Thunder 57-42 on Sunday at the Georgia Hoops Classic. The squad controlled the tempo from start to finish, with balanced scoring across eight players proving too much for Charlotte's defense to handle.

Tyler Davis led the charge with 24 points and knocked down 5 three-pointers for the Blazers. The standout performer started strong, scoring 13 points in the opening half to establish an early advantage. Michael Carter added 10 points while LaMelo Robinson contributed 6 points off the bench, showcasing Knoxville's offensive depth.

For the Thunder, James Johnson led with 16 points and three 3-pointers, while Kendrick Davis added 9 points and earned Player of the Game honors. Despite their efforts, Charlotte couldn't find consistent scoring support from the rest of the roster.

The Blazers pulled away in the fourth quarter, outscoring Charlotte 21-15 in the final frame. Knoxville built a 13-point halftime lead that proved insurmountable, never letting the Thunder get closer than eight points in the second half. The win positions Knoxville as a strong contender heading into the final rounds of the tournament.
