Walker runs past Curry to top of scoring chart

The NBA's new scoring leader was determined his latest big night wouldn't go to waste.

Kemba Walker scored 43 points, giving him 103 in his last two games, as the Charlotte Hornets battled back to beat the Boston Celtics 117-112 on Monday night.

Walker, who had a season league-best 60-point effort in an overtime loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, scored 21 points in the fourth quarter and made 14 of 25 shots overall, including seven 3-pointers.
