Watch: Hornets’ LaMelo Ball finally scores his first NBA points

On Saturday, Charlotte Hornets rookie LaMelo Ball registered his first points in the NBA during the second game of the year after going scoreless in the season opener on Wednesday.

Ball notched his first point at the free-throw line against the Oklahoma City Thunder after he was fouled on a layup attempt. He converted on one of two shots from the line during that trip early in the first quarter as his first official bucket came just a few seconds later.

The 19-year-old scored his first basket a few possessions later on a tough take to the rim going to his right.
