The Charlotte Hornets suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night despite a career-high 60 points from Kemba Walker.
Wow, what a game, folks. It’s not the outcome the team was hoping for, but you’ve got to give the Charlotte Hornets props for competing until the final buzzer.
Jimmy Butler, the newest member of the 76ers, came up with a huge block on Kemba Walker and drained the game-winning three-pointer on the other end. Butler spoiled Kemba’s career night, as he had dropped 60 points in the losing effort.
Kemba was incredible tonight, putting the team on his back and gave them a chance to pick up the win. This was a historic performance from a Charlotte Hornets legend.
You would have liked to see some of the other players step up and help Kemba out on the offensive end, but in the end, the team tried really hard, but came up short. Take a look at the grades from tonight’s tough loss down below.
