Kemba Walker is currently in the middle of putting the finishing touches on his 2016 All-Star Game campaign , and while his numbers have been , for the most part , impressive , they have , more often than not , come with a cost . For example , in Wednesday 's contest with Golden State , Walker posted an impressive team - high 26 points . He did , however , shoot a fairly poor 9 - of - 23 from the field . This kind of performance has come more often than either Walker or the Hornets would like . In back - to - back games , Walker has scored a total of 47 points , but he 's also shot just 16 - of - 47 ( 34 percent ) from the field in those two outings . In fact , in four of his last six games , while Walker is averaging 24 points per game , he has failed to shoot over 40 percent four times . So while the numbers look good on paper , they are tending to come at the cost of efficiency . The Golden State Warriors defeated the Charlotte Hornets 113 - 103 Wednesday at Spectrum Center . The game did n't come as easy to the Warriors ( 39 - 7 ) as the final score may indicate , as Golden State was behind for a good chunk of the second half of Wednesday 's contest . It was n't until midway through the final period that the Warriors were finally able to catch up and regain the lead - - a lead they would n't let go of for the final stretch . Kevin Durant was dominant in the winning effort , scoring a game - high 33 points in 37 minutes , while Steph Curry added 28 points of his own while shooting 6 - of - 12 from behind the arc . The two carried the load for most of the way , as they had to , with the five reserves who played off the bench Wednesday managing to score just a combined 18 points . For the Hornets ( 23 - 23 ) , the loss is their second in a row and drops them back down to .500 on the season . Kemba Walker did all he could , as he continues to make his case for the All-Star game , scoring a team - high 26 points and dishing out eight assists in 38 minutes . Nicolas Batum also put together a solid all - around night , posting 16 points , eight rebounds and six assists in 38 minutes of his own . Charlotte badly missed starting center Cody Zeller ( quad ) , however , as the three centers who played Wednesday struggled mightily . Roy Hibbert , Frank Kaminsky and Spencer Hawes shot a combined 7 - of - 24 ( 29 percent ) from the field en route to scoring just 18 points . Up next , the Warriors will head to Los Angeles on Saturday to take on the Clippers , while the Hornets will look to get back on the right track Friday in New York against the Knicks .
