Walker goes on a tear as Bobcats gouge Warriors

Kemba Walker scored 27 of his 31 points in the second half as the Charlotte Bobcats overcame Stephen Curry’s 43 points to beat the Golden State Warriors 115-111 on Monday night in North Carolina.

Playing in front of his hometown crowd, Curry scored 19 points in the fourth quarter to cut the Bobcats’ lead to 111-109 with 11 seconds left. But the Warriors couldn’t contain Walker, and the point guard hit four free throws in the final 11 seconds to seal the victory.

Gerald Henderson had 24 points and Josh McRoberts had 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Bobcats, who won their second straight game.

The Sacramento Kings also won their second straight, beating the Dallas Mavericks 112-97, despite having only 10 players available after a seven-player trade with the Toronto Raptors was finalized.

DeMarcus Cousins had 32 points and 19 rebounds and Derrick Williams scored a career-high 31 to pace the Kings, who will receive Rudy Gay and two reserves in exchange for point guard Greivis Vasquez and three other players.

Monta Ellis had 21 points for the Mavericks.

The injury-plagued Los Angeles Clippers got 26 points from Blake Griffin and 25 points and 13 assists from Chris Paul to defeat the Philadelphia 76ers 94-83.

DeAndre Jordan had 11 points and a season-high 21 rebounds, and Jared Dudley scored 10 points for the Clippers, who won their second straight.

Los Angeles played without J.J. Redick (injuries to right hand and wrist), Reggie Bullock (sprained left ankle), Maalik Wayns (left knee) and Matt Barnes (torn retina).

In other games, it was: Nuggets 75, Wizards 74; Trail Blazers 105, Jazz 94; and Grizzlies 94, Magic 85.
