The Hornets lost to the Heat earlier this week by the lopsided score of 144-117. It turned out to be an expensive loss for the one and only LaMelo Ball.
The Charlotte star scored 20 points to go with nine assists and eight rebounds on 6-for-18 shooting in the defeat. Not an awful showing, but the Hornets were still outscored by 19 in Ball’s 28 minutes on the floor so not exactly great, either. Despite the numbers, Ball’s entertainment factor was at an all-time high, as has often been the case throughout his NBA career. The highlight for this game was accidentally kicking a ball directly into Davion Mitchell’s face.
