NBA 2018-19: The best individual performances of the season so far

2) Cardiac Kemba Walker - 60 stunning points in a loss

Walker had the biggest scoring outburst of the year

Kemba Walker joined a highly exclusive group of NBA players against Philadelphia on 17 November when he put up 60 points in a loss. His 60 points accounted for over half of the team's total score as they lost the game 119-122 in overtime.

Walker is now one of just 26 players to have ever scored 60 points in an NBA game. LeBron James, James Harden, Carmelo Anthony, Klay Thompson and Devin Booker are the only other active players who have hit the milestone.

He shot 21/34 from the field which included six threes for his 60 points and added seven rebounds, four assists and four steals.

Walker is enjoying the best season of his career and has routinely dragged his team to victory. Despite having a supporting cast led by Jeremy Lamb, Malik Monk, Cody Zeller and an ageing Nic Batum, Walker has been able to keep the Hornets firmly in playoff contention thanks to performances like this one.
