UBTP Jimmy Butler’s buzzer-beating trey winner dwarfs Lharlotte Kemba Walker’s 60 points

LOS ANGELES — Jimmy Butler hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer in overtime Saturday night, allowing the Philadelphia 76ers to overcome a 60-point explosion by Kemba Walker for a 122-119 victory over the host Charlotte Hornets.

The point total was a career-high for Walker, a Hornets franchise record and the first of 60 or more in the NBA since James Harden dropped 60 on Orlando last January.

After rallying from a late 10-point deficit in regulation, the Hornets found themselves down 119-114 with 1:14 left in overtime before Walker hit a jump shot and Jeremy Lamb converted a three-point play for a tie with 34.7 seconds to go.

Willy Hernangomez then stole a Ben Simmons pass, but Butler blocked a Walker jumper, setting up his own offensive heroics.

Rookie Luka Doncic hit the go-ahead hook shot with 70 seconds left, and host Dallas halted a 10-game losing streak to Golden State with a dramatic victory.

Durant led all scorers with 32 points on 11-of-22 shooting but faltered in the fourth quarter. He was one-of-seven in the final 12 minutes as the Warriors lost for the third time in four games and also dropped consecutive games for the 11th time under coach Steve Kerr.
