The Charlotte Hornets (13 - 24) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans (17 - 18) 98 - 94 on Wednesday. The Hornets pulled out a close one as Kemba Walker shouldered the scoring load with his third straight 30 point game. Walker also had the game - winning bucket with 2 seconds remaining, getting fouled on the shot and making his free throw to complete the three - point play. Gerald Henderson had a nice game, finishing with 16 points, seven rebounds, six assists and one block. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist pitched in with 13 points and a team - leading 12 rebounds. Charlotte has won three straight games without Al Jefferson (groin) and Lance Stephenson (pelvis). Anthony Davis had another monster game, finishing with 32 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks in 42 minutes. It was not enough to fend off a second half comeback by the Charlotte Hornets who were down by seven points at halftime. Down three with 2 seconds remaining, Tyreke Evans had his pass stolen by Marvin Williams to end any hope of salvaging a road victory for the Pelicans who are now 6 - 13 on the road this season. The Charlotte Hornets will travel to Toronto to play the Raptors on Thursday, and the Pelicans will head back home to face the Memphis Grizzles on Friday
