The two sides played fiercely in the final quarter, and the Knicks struggled to score points, and finally lost the game 117-124. Walker had a quasi-triple-double of 44 points, 9 boards and 8 assists, and hit 7 three-pointers, but unfortunately he could not lead the team to win, he was heavily guarded in the final quarter, and Randle's efficiency was too low.
In the first quarter, Walker played decently, missing three points on the outside and scoring from mid-range, scoring only five points in the first quarter and only shooting twice.

And this time he seized the opportunity to stage a big explosion and play the performance of the peak period. Walker is now 31 years old, not yet old, and should be at his peak. But because of injuries and team use problems, Walker will not play well, and the decline in personal condition is obvious. And this time he proved himself again, proving that he was still an All-Star player.
