The Hornets dug themselves a deep hole early against LA, down by as many as 23 in the first quarter. But Buzz City battled back despite LaMelo Ball leaving the contest early due to an ankle sprain, and Charlotte got it within two points in the fourth quarter. However, big performances by Anthony Davis and LeBron James were too much, as the Hornets fell 112-107 at home. Sam Farber and Rob Longo break down the game, pick their notable performances and also discuss reasons why LaMelo Ball should be an All-Star.
