LaMelo Ball had fun driving dagger after dagger into the Lakers

ByNBAUSA



The The Charlotte Hornets were on the West Coast this week, and while their journey didn’t start out the way they wanted it to, it sure got better. The Hornets had the Los Angeles Lakers on their schedule, and gave them an L they probably won’t forget, winning 135-117.

The Hornets began to pull away in the second quarter, but in the second half, it was the LaMelo Ball show. Ball didn’t shoot the ball well in the first half, but in the next he came out and knocked down eight three-pointers, as almost every shot was met with a stormy reaction from the fans.

The one on Deandre Ayton probably was the craziest videowhile driving the ball, he pulled back to the free throw line and knocked down a 3-pointer over him.

At the end of the fourth quarter, Ball basically put a dagger in the Lakers with this triple in the corner, and the point guard finished the game with 30 points and 11 assists.

After the game, the ball he was asked about what helped them turn things around in the second half and how it felt to get a win like that.

“I’m pretty much going into the game plan, and with me, I know I missed a lot in the first half, but I kind of love those kinds of halves, because I know the next one is going to be great,” Ball said. “With the record and everything, we know it’s not what it should be. But like we said, we’re just going to keep going and try to put these wins together.”

The ball he was not the only one knocking down threes during the game. In addition to his nine, Miles Bridges had five, Conn Knueppel had three, and Brandon Miller had two.

“It’s great. When everybody’s playing like that, it’s like a free-flowing state, and it just makes all of our jobs easier,” Ball said.
