CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ Tremendous as Hornets guard Kemba Walker's 103 points in two games looked, this couldn't keep up indefinitely.
Wednesday it didn't have to: Walker, the NBA's leading scorer at 29.6 points per game, got plenty of help from his teammates in a surprisingly easy 127-109 victory over the Indiana Pacers.
Walker finished with 16 points and a season-high 11 assists. Six other Hornets scored in double figures, including shooting guard Jeremy Lamb's 21, a game high. The Hornets (9-8) made a season-high 18 3-pointers against one of the NBA's top defenses this season.
The Pacers (11-7) got 20 points from forward Bojan Bogdanovic. The Hornets now have back-to-back victories over two top teams in the Eastern Conference, in the Pacers and Boston Celtics.
Three who mattered
Lamb: It's so important someone other than Walker can be counted on for Hornets scoring. He also had four assists and seven rebounds.
Frank Kaminsky: Midway through the fourth quarter he had nine points, his prior total this season
Domantas Sabonis: Pacers reserve was making just about every shot until he fouled out with six minutes left.
