Hornets overcome Walker's cold shooting to defeat Hawks, 108-94

CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ The Atlanta Hawks are accommodating enough to beat themselves if you give them that chance.

Wednesday the Hawks committed 19 turnovers, which helped the Hornets to a 108-94 victory at Spectrum Center four nights after the Hornets fell to the Hawks, who are 5-17.

Jeremy Lamb scored 22 for the Hornets, compensating for an uncommonly off shooting night by Kemba Walker (19 points). Walker finished 1-for-6 from 3-point range and 6-for-19 overall.

The Hornets improved to 11-10. Center Cody Zeller had a season-high 19 points.

The Hawks got 18 points from rookie point guard Trae Young. Atlanta shot just 34 percent from the field.

The Hornets overcame so bad overall shooting from 3, making just four of 20 attempts from the arc.
