LaMelo Ball is King of the 4th in Wild Weekend for Charlotte Hornets

Can LaMelo Ball’s late-game brilliance carry the Charlotte Hornets through key injuries and growing pains?

In this episode of Locked On Hornets, Walker Mehl and Doug Branson break down the Hornets’ recent games, including a nail-biting overtime loss to the Philadelphia 76ers and a strong performance against the Indiana Pacers. They explore LaMelo Ball’s standout fourth-quarter scoring and question whether the heavy reliance on his playmaking is sustainable. They also dive into Brandon Miller’s development, debate Charles Lee’s approach in pushing the team’s three-point game, and discuss injury updates on players like Tre Mann and Vasa Micic. It’s all about what the Hornets can build on as they fight for consistency in an unpredictable season.

  2. That game was there for the taking … have to win those.
    But melo is incredible and we are showing real fight and heart in every game.
    We just have to stop the sloppiness and turnovers.
    Big week ahead
    Keep up the good work

  9. Bruh. Day dreaming of having a center. Wow. Imagine having healthy Mark Williams, even big Nick; the spacing, the dishes, the dunks and lobs. We gon be alright, y'all. Diabate and Salaun getting valuable experience.

  13. I was so mad when that steal was found to be legal. I liget saw the replay and was about to go off because drew holiday has made millions off of those exact bump steals.

    Also that has to be correctly called. That is earth shattering for confidence on the defensive end for lemelo

  14. How are you not going to Blame THE COACH! The end of overtime he had Cody Martin against Kyle Lowry went they took free throws and Lowry won the possession . Where is the center? Poor coaching , call it out. That loss was not on Lamelo it was on the coach.

  17. Melo has to play this way until miles and nick/mark comes back. Without the centers our current bigs aren’t as much of a threat inside. His usage will go down once our bigs are back and he’ll be more of a 25/8a per night player vs 30/6
