The highlight-reel plays just keep coming from Charlotte Hornets rookie LaMelo Ball.
Late in the second quarter of their 114-104 win over the Toronto Raptors, he received the ball in the corner, faked out the flying defence of Norman Powell, effortlessly spinning his way to an open look, before knocking it down.
