7. vs. Indiana Pacers (2/2/18)

Stats: 41 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists

The next game on this list actually took place last year in a game that the Charlotte Hornets set a franchise record for points scored in a quarter with 49. This was a record that stood for a long time as it was previously set in 1991 when the Hornets scored 47 points in the fourth quarter against the Lakers.

Walker played a key role in the outcome of this game as he scored 41 points and came up one assist short of a double-double. One of the reasons Walker would end scoring the fourth most points in a game for his career was his shooting from the free throw line. Against the Pacers, he was perfect and connected on all 14 attempts.
