The Los Angeles Lakers got the win against the scrappy Charlotte Hornets on Thursday, with LeBron James having one of his best scoring games of the season.
On the other side, it was another incredible performance from No. 3 overall draft pick LaMelo Ball. He finished with 26 points, five rebounds and seven assists on 10-of-18 shooting after getting off to a slow start.
On both sides of the floor, Ball still has plenty of things to improve. However, this early into his first season, he’s showing that he can be a special talent in this league.
