LaMelo Ball's NBA career is less than two weeks old, but the Hornets rookie already has a signature win.
Ball and Charlotte (2-2) beat Luka Doncic and the Mavericks (1-3) on Wednesday night, 118-99. Ball had his best night as an NBA player so far, scoring a game-high 22 points to go with eight rebounds, five assists and 4-of-5 shooting from 3-point range. In defeat, Doncic scored only 12 points with five assists.
"LaMelo’s showing growth every single game,” Hornets coach James Borrego told media postgame. “He had his fingerprints all over that game…playing with poise, confidence.
