Now, this was the Kemba Walker the Knicks have been waiting for.
After struggling his first three games as a Knick, the Bronx-born Walker finally looked at home at Madison Square Garden. Walker scored team-high 19 points to help lead the Knicks to a 112-99 win over the 76ers Tuesday.
Walker came to life in second quarter when he knocked down shot after shot to push the Knicks to a 20-point halftime lead over a 76ers team that has the potential to contend for a title.
