The Charlotte Hornets they were one of the unluckiest teams in the league in terms of injuries, which caused them to fall in the NBA standings. They entered their Tuesday night contest 7-27, a troubling sign of continued ineptitude on the basketball court. But with the Hornets getting healthier lately, things are tied up get better for LaMelo Ball and companyas evidenced by their 115-104 victory over the struggling Phoenix Suns.

The ball had a special night; he had 32 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, making the most of his 28 shot attempts on the night, making 12 of them. The Hornets star seemed to come into his own, scoring 22 of his points in the second half as Charlotte kept the Suns at bay and compounded their woes.

After the game, the Hornets star’s confidence appeared to be high, though it was hard to say considering how much Ball believes in himself.

“Oh no, I always got that (swag). Even when I wake up, I really feel great. I don’t know what it is. That’s life, really. God blessed me. He let me live so that every day is just a beauty,” Ball said in his postgame interview with the Hornets on FanDuel Sports Network.

Indeed, Ball has always played with a joy that indicates he never takes anything for granted in his young and growing career. The Hornets star’s confidence permeates every minute he spends on the hardwood, and win or lose, Ball is no different in his demeanor and approach to the game.

But of course, every professional athlete goes out to compete, and the Hornets should be on an upward trajectory from here on out provided they remain healthy.

The Hornets topped the Suns in a huge home win

It’s not too often that a team misses 60 field goal attempts and still wins the game. But it’s a testament to the toughness and hustle of the Hornets that they pulled down 20 offensive boards, overcame a poor two-and-three shooting night to pull off a double-digit win over the Suns.

Mark Williams and Nick Richards played against the Suns, revealing their weak frontcourt that is currently changing to after Jusuf Nurkic’s bench. And that simply set the stage for LaMelo Ball to torch the Suns in the second half, sealing the Hornets’ eighth win of the season.
