I think the play in question was the play before he got his 3pt play on a long 
pass. (not sure of the score).  He went to the and missed (may or may not have 
been fouled) Denver had a break and Walker stayed back (hanging) C's got the 
rebound and fired it down.  Walker scored and was fouled pumped his fist.  I 
was happy for the score and was not happy with the lack of hustle and not 
getting back on D.  I'm pretty sure he didn't even make it to half-court.

On another note - put me down as one of the people that prefers Walker on the 
blocks.
