Hornets lose 3rd straight despite Kemba Walker’s 47 points against Jazz

Donovan Mitchell scored 23 points, Rudy Gobert had 18 points and 18 rebounds, and the surging Utah Jazz overcame Kemba Walker’s 47 points to beat the Charlotte Hornets 111-102 on Monday night.

Gobert, who is second in the league with 62 double-doubles, controlled the paint as the Jazz built enough of a lead to withstand Walker, who scored 22 points in the fourth quarter.

Ricky Rubio added 20 points and 13 assists for the Jazz, who have given up big games this season to guards such as Devin Booker (50 points), Derrick Rose (50) and now Walker.
