LaMelo Ball scores 31 points in Lithuanian game


After struggling against real pros in a scoreless Lithuanian League effort, LaMelo and LiAngelo Ball starred in Monday's Big Baller Challenge game between BC Vytautas and Vilniaus Lietuvos-rytas-2.

The brothers combined for 60 points in a 130-93 win - a performance with its share of high and lowlights from the teenage brothers.

LaMelo hadn't made a 3 in Lithuania heading into the game. On Monday, he beat the halftime buzzer with an off-balanced 3.

The shot was basically a runner, but hey, it went in.

LaMelo also had an alley-oop to LiAngelo that the outstanding Lithuanian announcers particularly enjoyed.

LaMelo had a dunk of his own too.

And showed some skill with a strong finish through contact.

But, of course, LaMelo's poor shot selection and immaturity were on display as well. He attempted an off-the-backboard alley-oop with a defender right behind him. He missed badly.

It's important to point out that Vytautas was going up against a junior team - not real professionals - but it was an effort that Vytautas will be pleased with.
