The Charlotte Hornets finally won a close game. Tonight they beat the Boston Celtics at home 117-112. This was a massive win for the Hornets for many reasons. First it stopped a mini losing streak. Second, it was a close win. And third, despite their record, the Celtics are one of the best teams in the East. The hero once again was Kemba Walker, who is playing at a level right now that few have ever matched.
Two nights ago in a home loss to the Sixers, Kemba dropped 60. Tonight he had 43 on 14 of 25 shooting.
