He shoots, he scores!: Lamelo Ball
15-year-old Lamelo Ball scored an astounding 92 points in a 147-123 victory against Los Osos.

Shortly after LaMelo Ball, younger brother of UCLA star Lonzo Ball, dropped 92 points for Chino High School on Tuesday, he tweeted, “92 points #love4lexi.”

The tweet was acknowledging Ball’s classmate Alexis Anderson, who was hospitalized on Friday. According to the GoFundMe account created for Anderson, she was found on Friday morning without a pulse and not breathing. She was then transported to the ER with a weak heartbeat.

As of Thursday afternoon, the GoFundMe account has raised over $40,000 of its $100,000 goal. More than half of the 407 total donations were made after Ball’s 92-point performance. One $92 donation was made.

According to Todd’s Twitter account, Lexi needs a heart transplant.
