The Charlotte Hornets didn’t have a good showing in their second preseason game against the Indiana Pacers. The Hornets lost 122-97, with LaMelo Ball scoring 12 points, grabbing 5 rebounds, and handing out 7 assists.

LaMelo played 26:51 minutes in the game, while brother LiAngelo played 5:44 minutes while scoring 1 point and collecting 1 assist. The Hornets are now 0-2 in the preseason.

This is an unfortunate trend the Hornets have been used to. They get a good performance out of LaMelo, yet, the team fails to secure the victory.

Will this NBA season be different for the Hornets?

LaMelo finds Nick Richards with beautiful alley-oop

The Hornets may have dropped another preseason game, but that didn’t mean there weren’t any highlights from the team from Charlotte. With 5:47 remaining in the third quarter, LaMelo showed off his incredible passing ability with a beautiful alley-oop to Nick Richards.

 

This was a great pass by LaMelo, and we hope to see more. What we also hope to see is a Hornets victory, and they’ll have their chance this Friday against the Boston Celtics.

Ultimately, the preseason doesn’t matter. What fans really are watching for is thr Hornets earning victories once the regular season begins.
