On his first time in Charlotte wearing a Boston uniform, Kemba Walker got all the love from his old fans. He also helped his new team get an easy win over the Hornets, 108-87. Kemba found his shot in the third quarter to lead a decisive burst for the Celtics, while Jayson Tatum led all scorers with 23 points (4-6 on threes) and Gordon Hayward was dynamic again with 20 points, 10 rebounds and six assists.
Kemba Walker introduced last, but not before a video presentation is put up on the Jumbotron, to big cheers from the crowd.
