Charlotte is hot, having won five in a row and going 4-0 on a homestand that was capped off Friday night with a win over the Pacers.
LaMelo Ball put on a show for the home fans before the team heads out on the road.
Ball had a season-high 32 points plus 11 rebounds and eight assists. But it wasn’t just the numbers, it was the way he was getting the numbers. Like the moves on this 3 ball.
