Kemba Walker scored 21 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Charlotte Hornets to a 115-109 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.
The first half of the game was relatively uneventful, thanks in large part to an atmosphere that was somewhat reminiscent of a preseason game. Malik Monk and Devonte’ Graham were responsible for all the first half highlights. Monk had a huge putback dunk after Jeremy Lamb put Stanley Johnson on his back with a crossover and missed the ensuing jump shot.
