After getting blown out by the Cleveland Cavaliers by 24 points, the Hornets were back at the Spectrum Center to host the Philadelphia 76ers. Kemba Walker dropped a career-high 60 points but the Hornets could not get the win.

Kemba nailed a jumper from the elbow region to get the things started. With the 76ers jumping to an early 15-6 lead, Walker made a tough acrobatic layup for an and-1. He made the free-throw and cut the deficit to six points.

In the second quarter, with the 76ers up by as many as 14 points at the 4:26 mark, Kemba knocked down a three-pointer to keep the Hornets in the game. In the third quarter, with 7:18 remaining, Kemba came off the screen to knock a three-pointer that gave the Hornets a two-point lead.

With 44.5 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the 28-year old shot a three-pointer in Jimmy Butler's face to give the Hornets the edge. However, the Hornets eventually lost in overtime due to Butler's game-winning three-pointer, but Walker received a high amount of praise for his heroics.
