Hornets' LaMelo Ball makes history with 50-point eruption vs. Bucks

The Charlotte Hornets suffered a 125-119 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, but it certainly wasn't the fault of LaMelo Ball. The Hornets star poured in a career-high 50 points in the defeat, with Charlotte outscoring Milwaukee by seven points in his 40 minutes on the court. Ball also tallied 10 assists, five rebounds and six 3-pointers, making him the first player in franchise history to hit all these benchmarks in a game, per StatMuse.

It did take Ball 38 shots and 17 3-point attempts to get to his final scoring number, so it wasn't the most efficient 50-burger ever.
