Kemba Walker scored 47 points, including 38 in the second half, but the Charlotte Hornets still dropped their third straight, this time losing to the Utah Jazz, 111-102.
The first half of this game was ugly. The Jazz scored a lot of their early points at the free throw line while turning the ball over enough to let the Hornets stay in it. The tide shifted in favor of the Jazz in the second quarter, thanks to woeful Hornets offense. The Hornets made just five of their 24 second quarter field goal attempts while going 1-of-11 from three.
