"I shook his hand at the end of the game, said he was a hell of a player," Walton told the CBS reporter. "But I think I'm a hell of a player, too. The better point guard won the game."

Walton finished with 26 points, including hitting 50 percent of his 3-point attempts. Evans finished with 23 points, hitting 10 of 26 field goals and one of four 3-point attempts.
