But that's when Walker took over.
The 6-foot-1 point guard drove to the lane and put the ball in off the glass to cut the lead to three. Following a Washington turnover on an inbounds pass, Gordon knocked down a 3-pointer to tie the score.
Walker then converted a 12-footer to put the Bobcats up 113-115.
