The Oklahoma City Thunder held Charlotte Hornets star Kemba Walker to 21 points and recovered from a 19-point deficit for a 111-107 victory at Spectrum Center Thursday.
Walker, who entered this game averaging 30.1 points - second in the NBA - didn’t make a field goal in the first half. Despite that, the Hornets seemingly took control midway through the third quarter. Then, Russell Westbrook (29 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds) set off a furious comeback.
The Thunder got a career-high 25 points from reserve Alex Abrines.
The Hornets fell to 4-5. Malik Monk scored 21 off the bench for the Hornets and Tony Parker added 17.
