The University of North Carolina Tar Heels fell short against the University of Connecticut Huskies in an 87-76 loss. UConn's offensive efficiency, dominant rebounding, and ability to capitalize on turnovers proved too much for Carolina to overcome. Despite strong performances from RJ Davis and Harrison Ingram, the Tar Heels lacked a third reliable offensive option. UConn's Dan Hurley's influence on the officiating was evident, and the Tar Heels experimented with a halfcourt zone defense. This was Carolina's third appearance in the Jimmy V Classic, and more matchups between Carolina and UConn could be expected in the future.

The Golden State Warriors suffered a 118-110 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, struggling on both ends of the floor. The Warriors had a poor offensive performance, managing only 83.5 points per 100 half-court possessions, equivalent to the worst half-court offense in the NBA. The Cavaliers, on the other hand, scored efficiently, with 102.5 points per 100 half-court possessions, equivalent to the third-best half-court offense in the league. The Warriors' defense struggled to contain the Cavaliers' dynamic backcourt duo and gave up numerous paint touches and open three-pointers. Despite a 30-point performance from Stephen Curry, the Warriors' offense was inefficient. The Cavaliers' length, athleticism, and quickness posed a challenge for the Warriors, who now face the defensively strong Minnesota Timberwolves in their next game.
