LaMelo Ball had 18 points and 12 assists while finishing one rebound shy of a double double, but it wasn’t enough as the Charlotte Hornets lost to the Denver Nuggets, 119-105.
Terry Rozier opened the scoring with a little floater. Those two points were the first of seven straight from the Hornets to start the contest. The last of those seven was a 3-pointer from LaMelo Ball for the 46th consecutive game. It ended up being a 13-2 start in favor of the Hornets before the game’s first timeout. That run featured two dunks from Gordon Hayward, including this alley oop.
