The Charlotte Hornets took on the Atlanta Hawks in Charlotte tonight, and in his second game back from injury, LaMelo Ball scored 27 points. Despite LaMelo’s efforts, the Hornets’ theme of the season continued…

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. 

As LaMelo continues to work himself back to playing shape, he and the rest of the Hornets will have to wonder how they are going to turn their season around. Should Buzz City look to make a big trade to give LaMelo some actual help?

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.
