Kemba 'pissed' after 60-point performance in loss (2:24)
Last-second Butler 3 lifts Sixers after Kemba's 60
Jimmy Butler knocked down a 3-pointer as time expired in overtime, and the 76ers overcame a career-high 60 points from Kemba Walker to beat the Hornets 122-119 on Saturday night.
Kevin Pelton ESPN Staff Writer
Kemba Walker's career-high 60 points on Saturday night against the Philadelphia 76ers were a new Charlotte record and the most scored by any NBA player this season. Walker is the 26th player in NBA history to score 60-plus points, per Basketball-Reference.com. Walker scored 19 points in the fourth quarter to help the Hornets force overtime, but his ultra-efficient night -- 21-of-34 shooting, plus 12-of-12 from the free throw line -- wasn't enough to get Charlotte a victory. Jimmy Butler's 3 with 0.3 seconds left gave the visiting Sixers a 122-119 win.
