Watch: Hornets' LaMelo Ball fakes out Wizards defenders

Ball made a series of plays that looked like he was a Harlem Globetrotter facing the Washington Generals rather than a man playing a legitimate NBA team. First, he dribbled in circles around multiple Washington defenders to get an early layup.

Then, he left Justin Champagnie in the dust with a crossover move. 

Then, Ball faked out Kyshawn George so badly on a shot fake that the rookie is guaranteed a spot on "Shaqtin' A Fool" this week.

But Ball's biggest fancy play came in the final seconds when he found Mark Williams for a go-ahead alley-oop with 12 seconds left.

After all that, Ball ended up on the wrong side of a spectacular game-winner, as Jordan Poole got Ball moving in the wrong direction as he sank a deep three-pointer that redeemed the Wizards and gave them win No. 5.

Ball won the mix-tape battle. The Wizards won the game.
