The end result of his day? Another career-best performance with a franchise record-tying seven 3-pointers and the second 20-point, 10-assist performance of the season as the Hornets cruised to a second win in as many days, downing the Rockets 119-94.īall, who entered the league with plenty of concerns about his shot, tied his season-high for 3-pointers at four with 7:07 left in the second quarter.
Eventually, Ball was cleared, and he headed to the arena behind schedule but with plenty of time to spare before start time. A creature of habit like most professional athletes, Ball was restricted to his house due to issues with his COVID-19 test results. The lead up to Monday’s game was not normal for LaMelo Ball.
