A total of nine games hit the hardwood for the NBA schedule on Monday (Nov. 19). Among the winners were Kemba Walker and the Hornets, Joel Embiid and the Sixers, as well as the "Greek Freak" and the Milwaukee Bucks. Here are five excellent player performances from Monday night's winning teams.
Kemba Walker - Charlotte Hornets
Walker came back stronger after his 60-point performance a few nights ago. This time around he only had a mere 43 points but picked up the win with his team against the Boston Celtics. Walker also had five assists and four rebounds.
