The Charlotte Hornets picked up a second consecutive win in Kemba Walker’s only visit to Madison Square Garden this season.

This was a game that the Charlotte Hornets needed to win, and they did just that, defeating the New York Knicks with a final score of 119-107. It’s no secret that the Knicks are in rebuild mode, and have had their struggles this year, so these are the types of game where you have to take care of business and bring home a W.

Kemba Walker, who has been in a slump recently, busted out of it tonight in his hometown. Walker was the star, but it was a good team effort, getting contributions from just about everybody. This is Charlotte’s second consecutive win, and they will look to win three in a row on Wednesday against Detroit.

Charlotte is now back at the .500 mark, sitting with a 13-13 record.

The only player that didn’t get into the game tonight was Bismack Biyombo. Everyone else got into the game and played some minutes. With that being said, let’s hop right into it and hand out these grades.
