Late game heroics from Kemba Walker and Marvin Williams earned the Charlotte Hornets an important win over the Toronto Raptors, 110-106. Marco Belinelli lead the Hornets with 21 points, while DeMar Derozan lead all scorers with 28.
Tonight’s first quarter went much better than Tuesday’s, particularly on the defensive end. That said, Hornets didn’t score for the first three and a half minutes until Nicolas Batum knocked down a 3-pointer. This prompted a 9-2 run, which gave them their first lead of the game.
Batum was the early scoring leader, knocking down 9 of his team’s first 13 points on 4-6 shooting.
