What record did Kemba Walker break in the Charlotte Hornets’ blowout win? | Charlotte Observer

This game failed to entertain, but Kemba Walker sure did.

Two-time All-Star Walker hit his 1,000th career 3-pointer and many more Thursday in leading the Charlotte Hornets to a 140-79 blowout of the tank-tastic Memphis Grizzlies at Spectrum Center.

This was the largest margin of victory in Charlotte NBA history. The original Hornets beat the Philadelphia 76ers by 52 in the 1991-92 season.

Walker scored 35 points in the first half alone, finishing with 46. He broke his own single-game franchise record for 3s with his 10th with about four minutes left in the third quarter.
