LaMelo Ball of the Hornets Makes Unbelievable Pass and Shot in Same Game

LaMelo Ball provided a night full of unpredictable highlights, even though the Charlotte Hornets fell short against the New York Knicks. Charlotte suffered their seventh consecutive defeat on Wednesday, losing 129-101, but Balls antics kept fans entertained.

One of the most talked-about plays came when Ball attempted a flashy no-look pass, only to have it bounce off Knicks guard Jalen Brunsons head. The crowd reacted with a mix of laughter and surprise, while Balls teammates could only shake their heads at the unusual play.

Later in the game, Ball tried to sink a three-pointer that ended up hitting the side of the backboard and bouncing away, adding to an already strange night that also included a third-quarter foul out and a technical for arguing with referees.

Despite Balls comedic moments, the Hornets struggled to match the Knicks dominance. Jalen Brunson led New York with 33 points, Karl-Anthony Towns recorded a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Josh Hart contributed 22 points. New York shot 50% from beyond the arc, holding a commanding 24-point lead before resting key players.

For Charlotte, Brandon Miller showed promise with 18 points in his second game back from a shoulder injury. However, the team continues to face challenges in NBA Cup action, having lost 10 consecutive Cup games over the past three seasons.

While Balls no-look pass and backboard-bound three-pointer provided some comic relief, the Hornets have larger issues to address as they try to build credibility in the NBA Cup. Fans, however, can still enjoy the chaotic brilliance of LaMelo Ball, even if it doesnt always translate into victories.
