LaMelo Ball Stats Tonight: How did Hornets star fare against brother Lonzo Ball and Bulls? (Jan. 17)

LaMelo Ball went head to head against his brother Lonzo Ball as the Charlotte Hornets took on the Chicago Bulls on Friday. The Hornets are coming from a 117-112 win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. LaMelo had a solid game, posting 27 points, nine assists, six rebounds and three blocks. The younger Ball looked to replicate that performance against his older brother.

However, the first quarter wasn't one of LaMelo Ball's good starts. Ball was ice cold on the hardwood, sinking only one out of seven shot attempts. Carrying the Charlotte Hornets was Seth Curry, who helped his team secure the lead in the opening period.

In the second quarter, Ball was able to pick up the pace and scored eight points. Helping the Hornets secure a two-point lead over the Bulls by the end of the first half were Miles Bridges and Nick Smith Jr.
