2. vs. Utah Jazz (1/18/16)

Stats: 52 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists

No matter what happens in Kemba Walker’s career, this game in 2016 against the Utah Jazz will go down as one of the best in his career. The 52 points he scored is not only a career high for Walker but also a franchise record for the Charlotte Hornets. The team ended up being the Jazz by a final score of 124-120 in double overtime.

In this game, it seemed no matter what the Jazz tried to do, they were not going to stop Walker. He connected on six of 11 three point attempts and made 14 out of 15 free throw attempts. He also scored 18 of his 52 points in the first quarter.

However, Walker once again made an impact just not in the point total as he came one rebound and two assists short of his third career triple-double.
