Walker started the game with a jumper from the free-throw line. With 6:55 left in the first quarter, he shot a three-pointer to extend the Hornets' lead to five points. With the clock winding down, he made a step-back jumper and the Hornets finished the first quarter with 29-28 lead. The Hornets would eventually win in overtime, 124-119.

The two-time All-Star finished the night shooting 16-for-33 from the field, including 6-for-11 from long range. Kemba was unstoppable and went 14-for-15 from the free-throw line. This was Kemba's first 50-point game in the NBA.
