After a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, the Los Angeles Lakers hit the road once again. They are facing the Charlotte Hornets for the second of their back-to-back road games. LeBron James continues to be out with knee issues, but even Anthony Davis hasn’t suited up for the Lake show tonight. Moreover, LaMelo Ball is torching the purple and gold with his Dwyane Wade-like play.

While on a break, LaMelo Ball threw a lob to Miles Bridges which was reminiscent of Dwyane Wade.

The Hornets are one of the youngest and most exciting teams in the NBA. Charlotte has had some crucial players come up in big-time moments while some have been making massive improvements. However, the pick of them all is the connection between LaMelo and Bridges. And this duo was in action against the Lakers yet again.

LaMelo Ball brings back LeBron James-Dwyane Wade’s connection with lob

Ball has really stepped things up in his sophomore year so far. But what hasn’t changed is his insane passing ability. So while facing off against the Lakers, the young star got the ball from Bridges. However, he faked out the defender into the layup and threw a lob right back for Miles. This had Twitter going nuts, as it was reminiscent of the Wade-LeBron connection.

The Hornets are taking things right to the shorthanded Lakers. They are holding a small lead going to the fourth quarter. But momentum could definitely tip the scales.
