LaMelo Ball scored 27 points in second game back

The Charlotte Hornets lost, yet again, this time to the Atlanta Hawks by a score of 125-106. LaMelo played well in his second game back from injury, as he did in his first game back.

LaMelo scored 27 points on 9-18 shooting and 7-13 from three. He also added 3 assists and 2 rebounds. Despite his stellar play, the Hornets can’t seem to find a way to win on a consistent basis.

Unfortunately, there is no answer to that question, but it’s obvious that Charlotte has to do something. All we can do now is wait and see their next move.
