Hornets' Kemba Walker: Scores team-high 29 in Saturday's loss
Walker scored 29 points (10-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT) while adding three assists, three steals and two rebounds across 36 minutes during Saturday's 104-98 loss to the Celtics.
Analysis:
It was an impressive showing by Walker, but he was outdueled from long range by Avery Bradley, who drained eight three-pointers to lead the Celtics to a come-from-behind win in the fourth quarter. After averaging career highs in points, boards and treys last season, Walker might need only to stay healthy to take his game to the next level.
