Considering how many horrors the Charlotte Hornets have experienced in Miami, only fair something so pleasant happened there, too.
All-Star point guard Kemba Walker, already the Hornets’ all-time scorer, reached 10,000 career points Saturday as the centerpiece of a 113-112 road victory over the Heat. Walker finished with 39; he needed 26 to reach the milestone.
The Hornets seemingly had this game wrapped up, leading by as many as 26 points. But their 3-point shooting collapsed in the second half. The Heat’s Rodney McGruder drove to the rim with 45 seconds left to trim the Hornets’ lead to one.
