Hornets' Kemba Walker: Scores team-high 25 in Saturday's OT loss

Walker scored 25 points (10-25 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding seven rebounds, five assists and a steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 121-116 overtime loss to the Pelicans.

Analysis:

After dropping 17 on opening night, Walker's now scored at least 20 points in 11 straight games. He's shooting 47.5 percent from the floor and 43.5 percent from three-point range on the season though, both significantly higher than last season's career bests of 42.7 percent and 37.1 percent respectively, so don't be surprised if his 25.3 point-per-game average starts to tumble.
