LaMelo Ball was restrained by his teammates after a flagrant foul
It only took a few minutes for the game to be interrupted in between Charlotte Hornets and the Washington Wizards at the Spectrum Center on Tuesday.
With seven minutes left in the first quarter, LaMelo Ball drove to the basket on the left side. But as he was about to stop, Keyshawn George pushed him to the floor. Boll didn’t like a hard foul and tried to go after George before his his teammates held him back.
George was whistled for a flagrant foul.
The 24-year-old playmaker is usually cool and calm, but then he showed that he has fire and fury in him.
In the end, it was Ball who had the last laugh as the Hornets topped the Wizards, 126-109. Ball led the way with a game-high 23 points on 7-of-12 shooting with nine assists.
He had plenty of help as six other Hornets finished in double figures, including Brandon Miller, who had 20 points, four rebounds and four assists. Moussa Diabat had a double-double of 12 points and 18 rebounds.
Bol has struggled with injuries the past few seasons, so it’s always nice to see him on the court. The former All-Star remains one of the most talented players in the league with his handles, vision and shooting.
There were rumors that the Hornetswho drafted Ball with the third overall pick in 2020, are now willing to trade him, especially with the rise of rookie Kon Knuepel.
Charlotte returns to action on Friday against the Orlando Magic.
