On Sunday evening, the Charlotte Hornets got back in the win column with an easy win over the Washington Wizards. It was an epic game for point guard LaMelo Ball, who scored 37 points in the win on an absurd 10-of-15 from beyond the three-point line.
At one point in the game, Ball hit four consecutive threes in a span of 99 seconds, and on the next Hornets possession, team announcer Eric Collins was openly eager for the star point guard to launch another one.
However, the ball passing the ball finished To teammate Brandon Miller, who turned it to Josh Green for an open three from the corner, which found the bottom of the net.

Collins has long been known for his enthusiasm on the air, which has drawn mixed reactions from fans across the league. However, his passion for Hornets basketball cannot be denied, and his sentiment of launching the ball three times in a row seems to be shared by everyone else on the arena.
Meanwhile, the Hornets are now 27-31 on the season, getting close to the .500 mark after some tough losses at home in the last week or so.
While his driving skills leave a lot to be desired, Ball has been playing some of the best basketball of his career for the Hornets over the past month, leading the team to a recent nine-game winning streak and a return to postseason status in the Eastern Conference.
Of course, there is still much to be sorted out during the season, and the Hornets’ schedule will see an increase in strength compared to the rest of the campaign.
However, for now, Charlotte fans will have to be happy with what they are seeing from their budding young team.
The Hornets next face off against the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday evening.
