Hornets guard LaMelo Ball had another solid all-around performance with 25 points, seven assists, and five rebounds in the victory. The former all-star returned on Saturday after missing Friday night's loss against the Portland Trail Blazers with a wrist injury.

LaMelo Ball scored 25 points, Miles Bridges had 22 and the Charlotte Hornets beat the New Orleans Pelicans 123-92 on Saturday night.

While LaMelo fans see him as carrying the Hornets on a nightly basis, media voters see a player that has lost 57 percent of his career games. One local beat writer who chose not to vote for Ball in the past cited the lack of team success as his main reason for passing on the guard.
