CHARLOTTE, N. Samuel Umtiti France Jersey .C. - Brian Roberts believes the Charlotte Hornets are in good hands if Kemba Walker is out for any length of time.The third-year point guard filled in for Walker and scored 17 points, and the Hornets beat the New York Knicks 76-71 Saturday night for their ninth victory in the last 11 games.Roberts was 5 of 9 from the field and made all six free throws as the Hornets snapped the Knicks three-game win streak.Just to know I can come in help a team win games, that is something you cant teach, Roberts said. Just have experience that I was fortunate enough to have last year. And it looks like Im going to have to do that a little bit here.The Hornets arent saying how long their leading scorer will be out.Walker, who is averaging 18.9 points and 5.2 assists per game, has now missed three of the last five games with a left knee cyst.Roberts isnt worried.He started 42 games last season in New Orleans when Jrue Holiday went down with an injury and did well in that role.One of the advantage of bringing him here was that he started so many games last year so hes comfortable in that role, Hornets coach Steve Clifford said.The Hornets have more to worry about than just Walker.Big men Marvin Williams (concussion) and Bismack Biyombo (knee bruise) left the game early and did not return. Their status is day-to-day.The Knicks know all about injuries.They played without Carmelo Anthony, who was held out to rest his knee on the second night of a back-to-back.Tim Hardaway Jr. led New York with 25 points and Lance Thomas had 16 points and eight rebounds. But the Knicks were 5 of 15 from the field in the fourth quarter.We put the guys out there that have never been in that situation, together at least, Knicks coach Derek Fisher said. So it impacts the way you finish games.The Hornets win came one night after a 39-point loss to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.You learn quickly in the NBA you have to have a short memory — win or lose, Henderson said. We had a good week at 4-1. We have played well the last couple of weeks and obviously that game is not representative of how weve played. So you forget about it and move on.The Hornets looked sluggish early, missing 24 of their first 29 shots from the field. However, the Knicks couldnt take advantage and only led by one at halftime.The Hornets eventually took the lead with 3 minutes left in the third quarter when Jason Maxiell hit an 18-foot jumper from the foul line.With the game tied at 69, Roberts hit a fall-away jumper from the left baseline to give the Hornets the lead for good.The Knicks had a chance to tie the game with 22 seconds left but Hardaway clanked a 3-pointer off the backboard and Cole Aldrich threw the ball away with 11 seconds left after chasing down a loose ball. Gerald Henderson knocked down two free throws with 10 seconds left to help seal the win.We have to value that last possession, Hardaway said.Clifford was hoping that Al Jefferson, in his third game back from a groin injury, would help to pick up the scoring slack with Walker out. But the big man started the game 2 of 11 from the field and finished with nine points.___TIP-INSKnicks: The Knicks started three players on 10-day contracts — Lance Thomas, Langston Galloway and Lou Amundson. ...

LOUIS - Matt Holliday has been known to be a streaky hitter. And he might be finding his hitting stroke at just the right time for the St. Louis Cardinals. He homered twice and had five RBIs and the Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs 13-2 Saturday night to earn a split of a day-night doubleheader. "It feels good," Holliday said. "It always feels good to help your team win. Thats what were here for. Were here to win games. When you do something that helps the team win, thats the idea." The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for St. Louis, which won for just the third time in its past nine games and pulled to within one game of the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers. Milwaukee dropped its fourth straight with a 3-1 loss at San Francisco. Its the most runs this season for the Cardinals and the first time in seven games they scored at least three runs. Their previous high was 10, which they did twice. "Yeah, we really need those big production days and Matts the guy that can do that," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Its nice to see and nice to see him lead like he did. "Its good to see our offence kind of quiet people that think that we can only score two runs a game." The Cardinals have scored two or fewer runs in 45 of their 136 games or about one-third of the time. Marco Gonzales (1-2) gave up one run and three hits over a season-high six innings. His previous long outing was in his debut on June 25 when he pitched five innings against Colorado, but didnt figure in the decision in a 9-6 win for St. Louis. Tsuyoshi Wada (4-2) gave up four runs in six innings. "Wada was hanging in there," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. "He was hanging in there. One pitch obviously Holliday drilled it out of the ballpark. Then he went back out and kept us in there one more inning. He ground it out. I thought he kept us in the ballgame." Holliday hit his 14th home run in the fifth to break a 1-1 tie. His three-run, two-out blast to centre scored Daniel Descalso and Matt Carpenter. He got No. 15 leading off a nine-run eighth. It marked his 19th career multi-homer game and his first since getting two on Aug. 10, 2013, against the Cubs. Holliday has an 11-game hitting streak during which he has gone 14 for 43. "Three-run homers are game-changers," he said. "Especially if its a tie game and you get a three-run lead, it kind of gives you a little bit of a cushion and allows your pitcher to settle down a little bit." The first 10 batters reached to start the eeighth for St. Thomas Lemar Jersey. Louis. Hollidays homer was followed by five singles and three walks before he was hit by a pitch to drive in the seventh run of the inning. Matt Adams hit a sacrifice fly and Yadier Molina got his third hit of the night to drive in the ninth run before second baseman Javier Baez made a nice play on an Oscar Taveras grounder to start an inning-ending double play. Felix Doubront pitched seven strong innings in his National League debut and Starlin Castro hit one of Chicagos three solo homers, sending the Cubs to a 5-1 victory in the opener. Doubront (1-0) allowed seven hits in his return from the disabled list. He had been out with a strained right calf since Aug. 1, two days after Chicago acquired him from Boston. Logan Watkins and Chris Valaika also connected for Chicago in the makeup of a May 14 rainout. Justin Masterson (2-3) gave up all three homers and five earned runs in 4 1-3 innings for St. Louis. Masterson has allowed four or more runs in five of his six starts for the Cardinals and pitched five innings or fewer in four of his starts. WELCOME BACK: Molina went 3 for 5 with three singles in his second game since returning to the lineup following a seven-week absence. Molina, who had surgery on his thumb in July, went 0 for 3 in his return Friday and sat out the first game of the doubleheader. He also threw out Arismendy Alcantara trying to steal second in the fifth, the first attempt against Molina since his return. TRAINERS ROOM Cubs: 1B Anthony Rizzo, who was second in the NL with 30 homers, sat out again. Rizzos lower back tightened during a rain delay Tuesday in Cincinnati. He has not played since and is expected to sit out Sunday as well. ... RHP Edwin Jackson (strained right strain) threw in the bullpen before the game. He has been on the disabled list since Aug. 21.
