The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Atlanta Hawks 133-126 in an exciting contest at the Spectrum Center. Following the game, NBA insider Bill Simmons gave high praise to the Hornets’ ownership, coach Charles Lee, LaMelo Ball, and the entire roster after their win, according to a post by the team account.
Health has always been a big qualifier for this era of the Charlotte Hornets. Everyone, especially LaMelo Ball, seems to struggle just to stay on the court.
LaMelo Ball has been on the court for 17 games this season, but between his ankle issues and Brandon Miller missing time with a shoulder injury, the Hornets' "big three" have only played eight games together this season.
Christmas and the NBA go hand-in-hand. The day serves for the top hoops league in the world, like Thanksgiving for the NFL. However, while the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are perpetual Thanksgiving participants, the NBA has mixed up the matchups and the teams throughout the years.
It's nights like Thursday that prevent Charlotte Hornets fans from jumping on board with any LaMelo Ball mock trades. When Melo's in the zone, he's one of the most gifted players on Earth.
The Charlotte Hornets don't have many wins this season, which makes it easier to declare that Thursday night's victory over the rival Atlanta Hawks is one of the best wins of the season.
If you were unable to watch the Charlotte Hornets game on Thursday night, you missed out. It was the first time in a while that LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, and dynamic rookie Kon Knueppel shared the floor, and boy did they put on a show.
Kon Knueppel, LaMelo Ball, and Brandon Miller all put a bunch of highlights on tape to lead the Charlotte Hornets to a win. The Hornets jumped out to an 8-0 lead with some disruptive defense and bouncy offense.
LaMelo Ball could be going international (again). The Toronto Raptors checked in on the availability of the Charlotte Hornets star Ball over the summer, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported Thursday.
When LaMelo Ball is feeling it, the energy in the Spectrum Center shifts for the Hornets. You can feel the air leave the lungs of the opposing bench. On Thursday night, that air was sucked out early and often as Ball and the Charlotte Hornets put on a shooting clinic that belonged in a video game, taking down the Atlanta Hawks 133-126.
LaMelo Ball returned to action and cranked out 28 points and 13 assists with a splendid shooting display as the Charlotte Hornets beat the visiting Atlanta Hawks 133-126 on Thursday night.
The Charlottes Hornets shook the building with one impactful moment. Early in the second quarter, Brandon Miller rose and delivered a thunderous poster over Hawks defender Vit Krejci, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.
It won't be the first meeting of the season when the Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks take the Spectrum Center court at circa 7 pm tonight. They already faced each other once on November 23rd, and the Hawks were able to squeak out a 113-110 win back then, overcoming a 28 point-effort from Kon Knueppel.
The Charlotte Hornets and LaMelo Ball are back in action tonight in Uptown as they get set to host the Atlanta Hawks, who are coming in losers of four of their last six.
