The NBA's newest All-Star Game format, which is just the latest in an endless effort to revitalize the event, is something Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball would thrive under. The current two-team head-to-head style of play isn't something Melo struggles with.

LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller put the Hornets on their shoulders to end the team's losing streak by beating the Pistons.

LaMelo Ball picked up the pace with a strong second half to finish with 26 points, including two free throws with 7.3 seconds left, as the Charlotte Hornets snapped a two-game skid by defeating the visiting Milwaukee Bucks 115-114 on Saturday afternoon.
