CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kemba Walker had 11 points of his 31 points and three assists in overtime, and the Charlotte Hornets outlasted the New York Knicks 137-128 on Monday night for their fourth straight victory.
Walker hit a late 3-pointer to help send the game into overtime and then took over.
Walker was 4 for 4 in the extra period with three 3-pointers to outduel New York’s Trey Burke, who finished with a career-high 42 points on 19-of-31 shooting and 12 assists.
Walker needs 20 points Wednesday night against Cleveland to pass Dell Curry as the franchise’s career leading scorer.
