    Kemba Walker calls it "messing with the bigs' timing."

    Time and time again, Walker found a way to get to basket on Saturday night and get shots off -- and make them -- among 7-footers in clutch situations, a rare trait for a 6-foot-1 point guard that has made him a three-time All-Star.

    Walker has come as close as you can to perfecting the art of stopping and starting on his drives and finding ways to freeze much taller defenders for just a moment, long enough to get up a layup off the glass.

    "I try to do my best to throw them off as much as possible. That is what I have to do at my size," Walker said. "It's a lot of different things. Using my body, timing. A lot of times they just can't time my jumps. Just trying to be as crafty as I can."

    Then he laughed and said, "but I do get my shot blocked a lot honestly."

    But the Chicago Bulls couldn't stop him on Saturday night.

    Walker had 15 of his 37 points in the fourth quarter, and the Charlotte Hornets pulled away late to defeat Chicago 125-118 for their fifth straight win at home.
