LaMelo Ball had 35 points (13-of-22 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists, one steal and seven three-pointers in the Hornets’ 122-108 victory over the Timberwolves on Sunday.
Ball had two 30-point games in the entire month of March and wasted no time by dropping 35 points in his third game in April. The 24-year-old point guard caught fire from downtown as he made 7-of-14 attempts from behind the three-point line. Ball has provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Hornets have three games in the final week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Celtics on Tuesday.
