Butler Does It On Both Ends To Stick It To Hornets
The story of Saturday night’s game in Charlotte was undoubtedly going to be All-Star guard Kemba Waller’s brilliant career performance at the Spectrum Center.
Until Jimmy Butler pulled the rug from under.
Jimmy Butler, playing in just his second game since being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, played spoiler during Kemba Walker’s career-high 60-point game as he sunk the Hornets in overtime.
After blocking Kemba Walker on one end to keep the game tied, Jimmy Butler would come down the floor and drill the game-winning 3-pointer over Dwayne Bacon with 0.3 seconds left in the game as the 76ers won 122-119.

That’s a second heartbreaker for the Charlotte Hornets in eight days against the Philadelphia 76ers, who came up short last week in Philadelphia 133-132, another overtime defeat.
Afterwards, Kemba Walker wasn’t too pleased about the loss. When asked how he felt after his 60-point showing he responded, “Pissed.”
