LaMelo Ball, Miles Bridges connect for epic alley-oop slam
The Charlotte Hornets tonight they’re flying high in the Queen’s City, and the connection in between LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges looking as dangerous as ever.
During the second quarter of Wednesday night’s match against Toronto Raptorsthe Hornets’ dynamic duo nearly blew the roof off the Spectrum Center with a masterful play that had the home crowd buzzing. With 6:23 left in the half, Ball isolated his defender at the top of the key, using your signature to create a lane to the basket.
Instead of finishing the layup himself, the 24-year-old point guard unselfishly threw a perfectly placed lob to the soaring Bridges. The high-flying forward did the rest, catching a pass in stride for an emphatic shot down the street that powerfully swung the momentum in Charlotte.
The play was an exclamation point in a solid first half for the Hornets, who entered the locker room with a 50-45 lead over the Raptors. Bridges has been the focal point of the offense, already scoring in double figures, while Ball continues to orchestrate the offense with the spirit that made him a franchise cornerstone.
The sequence is just another example of the growing chemistry for a Hornets team on the rise. After a massive 124-97 victory over the league leading Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday, Charlotte looks to continue the good times against a tough Raptors team.
If Ball and Bridges can continue to generate electricity like this, the Hornets might just be must-see TV for the rest of the season.
