There was plenty of reason for fans to be excited for the Los Angeles Lakers game against the Charlotte Hornets as the game featured the return of the team’s prodigious talent Lonzo Ball from injury. Fans were hoping that the Chino Hills native would inject some much needed fervor into a team that had been suffering demoralizing losses in its recent stretch of games.
Alas, it was not a glorious return for Ball as the Lakers fell 94-108 to the Hornets. The Lakers losing streak continues at nine consecutive losses.
Ball’s aggressiveness seemed to be infectious as the Lakers played with more effort early on.
