Charlotte Hornets' Performance Analysis
The Hornets showcased a mixed performance throughout the game. LaMelo Ball led the team with 19 points, contributing two assists and securing two rebounds. Despite his efforts and leading the scoring for his team, Ball's field goal percentage stood at 40 percent which reflected on the team's overall shooting efficiency. Brandon Miller also made notable contributions with 10 points and one assist but struggled with a field goal percentage of just 30 percent.
