Charlotte Hornets guard Kemba Walker scored a playoff career-high 37 points during a Game 6 97-90 loss to the Miami Heat on Friday, adding three rebounds, five assists, two steals and four 3-pointers in 39 minutes.

What It Means:

Walker is averaging 25.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists in this series. However, until Friday he has been very inefficient, posting an Effective Field Goal Percentage of 37.9 percent for the series.
