A home - and - home set is almost always split with the home teams winning both games and that was just the case here . Both games were tight too , with both matchups being decided by five points or less . The game scripts were different though , as there were only six combined lead changes and ties on Saturday , after having 39 on Friday . Jeremy Lamb was the surprise star for the Hornets , as he made his first start of the year in the absence of Nicolas Batum . Lamb finished the game with a season - high 18 points and a career - high 17 rebounds . Kemba Walker led the team in scoring though , providing 28 points , three assists and three steals . After Carmelo Anthony dropped a season - high 35 points on Friday , Anthony went just 7 - of - 25 from the field here en route to 18 points . Derrick Rose also scored 18 points , adding eight rebounds and eight assists in one of his best games of the season . The Charlotte Hornets defeated the visiting New York Knicks , 107 - 102 , at Spectrum Center on Saturday . After playing a competitive game on Friday , these two teams put up a similar fight on Saturday . The game flow was a bit different though , as there were only six combined lead changes and ties after nearly 40 on Friday . Charlotte got out to a hot start , as they led 38 - 22 after the first quarter . New York fought back to take their first and only lead in the fourth quarter , but could n't quite hold off a late fury by the Hornets . Defense was key for Charlotte , as they held New York to 38 percent from the field and 37 percent from three - point range . The Hornets also took advantage of the whistle , taking 21 more free - throw attempts than the Knicks . New York ( 8 - 8 ) had the tough task of winning both games of a home - and - home set and they did all they could to hang around in this tight loss . Kristaps Porzingis led the team in scoring , dropping 25 points and grabbing six boards . Derrick Rose fell just shy of a triple - double , accumulating 18 points , eight rebounds and eight assists . Carmelo Anthony also scored 18 points , adding eight rebounds on an ugly 7 - of - 25 shooting . On deck for the Knicks is a home matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday . Charlotte ( 9 - 7 ) had to play this game extremely shorthanded , but they got some huge performances from unexpected sources . Jeremy Lamb was the biggest surprise , as he scored a season - high 18 points and grabbed a career - high 17 rebounds in his first start with the Hornets . Kemba Walker led the team in scoring , tallying 28 points , three assists and three blocks in the win . Cody Zeller recorded a double - double , totaling 11 points and 10 rebounds .
