LaMelo Ball Keeps Heating Up
2 years agoCharlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball led his squad with 31 points in Saturday's 122-106 loss to Boston, adding seven rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 39 minutes. He posted his second consecutive 30-point outing, although Ball needed nearly 30 shots to get there, finishing 11-for-27 from the field with a 1-for-8 record from downtown. Efficiency was a big problem here, but Ball has started to build momentum and will get a quick rematch with Boston on Monday. Next week also brings him a superb matchup against the Rockets, whose defensive numbers against point guards are the seventh-worst in the league.
