The Charlotte Hornets almost pulled off a miraculous comeback in Philadelphia on Monday night. Down double-dights to start the fourth quarter, things were looking bleak for Charles Lee's squad that rode into the City of Brotherly Love on a two-game winning streak.
Then, LaMelo Ball happened.
The NBA's premiere crunch-time scorer led an electric Hornets comeback that he capped off with a fading, one-of-one corner three-point shot to tie the contest, that eventually went to overtime, at 98 with 8.0 seconds showing on the fourth quarter game clock. Charlotte and Philadelphia exchanged haymakers in overtime, with the Sixers eventually sporting a one-point lead with 16 seconds on the overtime clock.
