What a huge difference a good bench performance makes. The Spurs came into Friday night’s tilt with the Charlotte Hornets on a SEGBABA, looking to end a rare four-game losing streak. They were also coming up against one of the hottest guards in the league in Kemba Walker, who is averaging career highs with 24.6 ppg, 48.4% from the field, 21.9% from 3-pt, 92.2% FT’s, and 6 assists.
He was held in check with just 13 points and 4 assists, although Jeremy Lamb scored 27 points, and Dwight Howard had a 20 point, 12 rebound double-double.
