Behind LaMelo Ball’s first career triple-double, the Charlotte Hornets pulled away in the second half on Saturday against the Hawks to win 113-105.
Ball’s triple-double was not just the first of his career but made him the youngest player in NBA history to notch one. His big second half came as Charlotte pulled away from the Hawks, building a double-digit lead.
While Atlanta chipped the lead down at times in the fourth quarter, the Hornets were never really threatened as they secured their fourth-straight victory.
Terry Rozier finished with a game-high 23 points while P.J. Washington and Ball each had 22. Ball added 12 rebounds and 11 assists. Caleb Martin added 15 off the bench.
