The Charlotte Hornets split the two games on their road trip after losing to the Atlanta Hawks 125-120. It was a rough game early on, and Charlotte faced double-digit deficits but managed to make it interesting as the game went on. LaMelo Ball had his second straight 34-point performance in the losing effort. He shot 50% from the field, making 10 of his 20 shots, with nine of those 10 attempts coming from three-point land. That's a career-high for Ball from deep. Which is one made three away from the Hornets' record.
