Ball did a little bit of everything in Monday's contest, leading all Hornets in assists while finishing second on the team in scoring and rebounds in a well-rounded showcase. Ball hauled in nine or more boards for the fifth time, recording at least 25 points, nine rebounds and seven assists on four occasions.

Golden State's Gary Payton left the Warriors' game against Charlotte on Monday night with a head injury following a collision with Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball. Ball drove the lane midway through the third quarter and he and Payton banged heads.
