Two nights removed from a career game, Kemba Walker scored 43 points -- 21 of them in the fourth quarter -- to give the Charlotte Hornets a 117-112 victory over the Boston Celtics.
The Hornets (8-8) took a six-point lead in the last two minutes on Tony Parker’s 16-foot jump shot before Celtics forward Jayson Tatum swished a 3-pointer with 48 seconds left.
Walker answered with a pull-up 3 of his own with 32 seconds left, his seventh of the game.
A five-second violation, with Nic Batum inbounding the ball, gave the Celtics back possession with 21.
