LaMelo Ball hits garbage time three pointer and dances

In the East, the Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks were expected to be teams to watch. While both teams are entertaining, they have had up and down seasons. The Hawks made a surprise run to the Eastern Conference Finals. They have a lot to be proud of, as they went six games with the Milwaukee Bucks, who ended up winning the championship. With the Hawks being two wins from the NBA Finals, fans expected to see them on that level this year.

Last season, the Charlotte Hornets looked like they would make the playoffs. A late season injury to Gordon Hayward slowed them down. Later, LaMelo Ball went down with an injury, which further slowed the Hornets down. Both returned for the play-in game, where the Hornets took an embarrassing loss to the Pacers. That was the first ever game for the NBA Play-In Tournament and the Hornets got blown out on TNT.

This season, the Hornets played like true contenders, early in the season. As the season took form, the Hornets cooled off a bit, but held the sixth spot. When 2022 came, the Hornets’ bottom fell out, as they lost eight of ten games. That is when the Hornets came fighting back, having since won six of ten, and have slowed down the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks kickstarted their season with a seven game winning streak and have been hot since then. Tonight, they lost in Charlotte and LaMelo Ball hit a garbage time three pointer. He would dance afterward.
