Charlotte Hornets (5-5), winner of the Atlanta Hawks (4-5), made a triple-double and became the youngest basketball player in NBA history.
LaMelo scored 22 points (6/8 dvit., 3/5 trit., 1/2 penalty) on the bench in the 31st minute, bounced 12 balls and had 11 assists.
LaMelo, a 19-year-old with a historic achievement, edged out Markelle Fultz, who posted a triple-double at 177 days older.
“I live my life and I know what I can do. It didn’t surprise me, because I knew it would happen, “LaMelo said after the game.
At the time, Hornets head coach James Borrego highlighted the league’s rookie talent.
“19-year-olds don’t look like that. It’s weird what you see now. However, he himself is not surprised, because he has played outside the Atlantic before and feels that he has been doing those things for a long time, “said Borrego.
LaMelo outplayed his direct opponent Trae Young, who scored 15 points (5/19 years) and had 10 assists. The Hawks star spared no nice words to the young opponent after the game.
“He is a tall player who can pass the ball well, he can take it off and he is a smart player. It will be even easier for him when more games are played in the league, “Young said.
The Hornets won the home game 113: 105 (28:29, 31:21, 28:26, 26:29).
