Hornets tie franchise record with 26 3s against Kings team with 10 players out
LaMelo Ball is now second all-time in 3-pointers for Charlotte.
The Sacramento Kings were a shell of themselves in Charlotte on Tuesday night. They listed 10 players on out on their injury report, and the makeshift lineup they trotted out against a buzzing Hornets team was stung by the 3 ball. Charlotte netted 26 triples, tied for the most in single-game franchise history, and trounced Sacramento 134-90 , recording its fourth straight victory and its sixth in the past seven games.
In the process, LaMelo Ball moved into second all-time for Hornets 3-pointers, passing Dell Curry, who just had his No. 30 jersey retired by the organization . The 24-year-old Ball has been with the Hornets since they drafted him No.
3 overall in 2020. Close to six seasons into his NBA career, he’s now looking up at only four-time All-Star Kemba Walker on the franchise’s all-time 3-point leaderboard. LaMelo Ball is making HISTORY in Charlotte 👏 Ball moved to second all-time in three pointers made for the Hornets 🔥 pic.
