Kemba Walker just misses a triple-double in Hornet's win

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker fell two rebounds short of a triple-double with 28 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in Tuesday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

What It Means:

Walker didn't have the most efficient night as he went 11-for-26 from the field in 41 minutes. He did, however, add four three-pointers while committing only three turnovers. The 28 points were the most Walker has scored all month as he is averaging only 19.8 points in 10 games in December.

Surprisingly, Walker is topping his breakout 2015-16 season by posting career-highs in points (22.6), field goal percentage (46.0) and three-point percentage (41.3) through 28 games this season. Walker ranks 21st in the NBA with a 3.1 nERD.
