GAME RECAP LIVE! LaMelo Ball RETURNS & DOMINATES Hawks | The “Bee 3” EXPLODE for 80+ Points

The Charlotte Hornets stay in the win column after a thrilling 133-126 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Walker Mehl and Doug Branson react live to LaMelo Ball’s electric return to the court. LaMelo looked like his All-Star self, pouring in 28 points and closing out the game with a personal 7-0 run. But he wasn’t alone—Brandon Miller and Kon Knueppel also flirted with 30-point nights, showcasing the terrifying potential of Charlotte’s new “Bee Three.” The offense was humming, racking up 39 assists and flirting with franchise records in a blistering first half.

We analyze how the dynamic between Ball, Miller, and Knueppel changes the geometry of the floor, creating open looks and “hooper’s paradise” moments. Kon Knueppel continues to impact winning, recovering from rookie mistakes with game-saving hustle plays that you have to see to believe. While the offense shined, we also touch on the defensive lapses and a concerning physical drop-off from Moussa Diabate. Plus, we read your comments from the “Sicko Brigade” as the Hornets finally find the joy in basketball again.

  1. I love you guys but I genuinely can't follow this up and down injury ridden team anymore. its not good for my health

  2. WE NEED A C!!! No shade to Kalk he will be great but he needs to be the backup, let Moussa be the backup 4… let’s get Claxon or Sabonis or somebody

  3. Kon Knueppel last 15 games: 20.3 ppg 59.0 2p% 42.5 3p% 92.1 ft% Youngest player in NBA history to average 20 on 55/40/90 over a 15-game span.

  4. We still need to play better defense for nights we don't hit 18 – 3 pointers in 1st half.

  5. This game really felt like what this team was designed around for the most part (offensively at least, I still think for this team to contend Lee needs to coach AT LEAST league average defense out of these fellas) .
    On the offensive end though, I felt like I finally was seeing the vision of the team that I understood on paper. I am officially all the way back in on lamelo, and am FULLY sorry for ever being out on him. He very well might be the only player in the league who could have made some of the passes he made tonight, and hit some of the threes he hit tonight. God this roster has the potential to be SO good, I hope we realize it. GO HORNETS BABY IT'S A BUZZ CITY MIRACLE

  6. Lamelo just needs strong team mates, stronger than him. I think everyone is trying to make him the star. He isn't mentally built to be #1. He needs a lonzo on the team. Hopefully it will be Miller or Kon.

  7. Oh yeah, shooting 50% on 3pt when it's 50% of your shots. That's sustainable lol. You guys are a joke. Big 3? Where none of them are good, and they don't even make the playoffs?

  8. lol this is not the best Melo we have seen since his all star year like let’s be real… Melo had 50 10 and 5 just last year lol on 45% FG
