Hornets head coach James Borrego, who spent 10 years with the San Antonio Spurs as Gregg Popovich's assistant, has employed a faster style of play and a higher volume of attempts from downtown. For Walker, Borrego has given the point guard more room to operate.
Kemba Walker is off to his best start in his NBA career. He also became the sixth player to follow up a 60-point performance with a 40-point game.
