LaMelo Ball stuffed the stat sheet with 27 points, six rebounds, six assists, and two steals as he led the Charlotte Hornets to a much needed win over the Orlando Magic, 122-112.
The game was frustratingly even throughout the entire first half. Cole Anthony and Dwayne Bacon each took a quarter to catch fire to keep the Hornets from building or even getting a lead. PJ Washington, Terry Rozier, and LaMelo Ball buoyed a Hornets offense that dominated the paint. Still, they struggled to contain the Magic's offense and trailed 62-60 at the half.
