Hornets snap 4-game slide with 107-102 victory vs. Knicks

CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker drove past the New York Knicks' Willy Hernangomez for a layup with 31 seconds left for a six-point lead and an eventual 107-102 victory at Spectrum Center Saturday.

The victory broke a four-game losing streak for the Hornets, who improved to 9-7. Walker led the way with 28 points. Jeremy Lamb, making his first start as a Hornet, added 18 points and a career-high 17 rebounds.

The Knicks got 25 points from emerging superstar Kristaps Porzingis and 18 each from Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose.

The Hornets played without two injured starters: power forward Marvin Williams and shooting guard Nic Batum.

The Hornets won despite missing 13 of their 42 free throws.
