The Charlotte Hornets (19 - 26) defeated the New York Knicks (8 - 37), 76 - 71. The loss snapped a Knicks' three - game winning streak. Both squads shot less than 36 percent from the field. Kemba Walker did n't play due to left knee soreness. His replacement, Brian Roberts, scored a team - high 17 points. Bismack Biyombo suffered a right knee contusion in the contest, limiting him to seven minutes. Al Jefferson started at center in the second half. Marvin Williams is believed to have suffered a concussion, but he'll certainly adhere to the league's protocol. The Hornets attempted just seven three - pointers, sinking two of them. Carmelo Anthony rested after playing 42 minutes the previous night, Jose Calderon did n't play after suffering a knee contusion Friday and Amar'e Stoudemire played after resting one game. Coach Derek Fisher started Langston Galloway, Tim Hardaway, Jr., Lance Thomas, Louis Amundson and Jason Smith. Three of their starters are currently on 10 - day contracts. The Knicks failed to score more than 17 points in any of the final three quarters. Tim Hardaway added 25 points, six rebounds, five assists and five three - pointers in 35 minutes. The Hornets have three days off before they start a three - game road trip against the San Antonio Spurs. The Knicks travel back home to battle the Sacramento Kings on Monday.
