The Charlotte Hornets win their season opener in their biggest comeback yet in the National Basketball Association (NBA) against the Milwaukee Bucks (108-106).

The Bucks gained the lead early, and were hoping to win the game with the 24-point gap that they produced.

However, the newly-signed Kemba Walker - whose contract was extended for more years worth US $24 million the day before - rose to the occasion and proved his worth, as he led the Hornets to victory.

With just over five seconds left in the dying moments of the game, Walker made a 21-footer from the top of the key to win the game. He scored 26 points throughout the whole night.

Marvin Williams had 19 points while Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 17, and Al Jefferson finishing with 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Lance Stephenson, who is also new to the Hornets, started off rough in his first game with his new organization. He missed his first six shots and failed to score until the 5:49 mark of the third quarter.

However, when he dunked over Larry Sanders, Stephenson seemed to change and get heated up. He helped the Hornets trim the initial 24-point deficit to 15 by the end of the third quarter.

He also had seven points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists in his debut.

The Bucks on the other hand were led by Brandon Knight, as he scored 22 points and had 13 assists throughout the game.

Khris Middleton had the opportunity to make it a four-point lead by the end of the game, but made only 1 of 2 free throws.

With an inbound pass to Walker, he weaved through the defense and shot beyond the arc for the win.

The Bucks could not get a shot off at the end of regulation.
