PHOENIX _ Treveon Graham to the rescue.
The undrafted Charlotte Hornets forward, filling in for a struggling Frank Kaminsky, nailed a 3-pointer with 35 seconds left to secure a 115-110 road victory over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday afternoon. The victory was the first of a four-game West Coast trip, and improved the Hornets to 23-29.
This game was historic, in that Hornets point guard Kemba Walker set a franchise record for 3-pointers made. Walker now has 930 career 3s, topping Dell Curry, who is still with the franchise as a television analyst.
Walker broke Curry's record in 493 games. Curry, an original Hornet chosen in the expansion draft in 1988, played 701 games for the Hornets. That difference illustrates how much bigger a part of the NBA game the 3-pointer is now, versus when Curry played.
Nic Batum finished with 22 points for the Hornets and Walker added 18.
The Suns' T.J. Warren scored 21 points and Josh Jackson finished with 23.
