On this day: Kemba Walker first return to Charlotte as a Boston Celtic

On this day, Celtics starting point guard Kemba Walker made his first return to his former team — the Charlotte Hornets — as a Celtic.

On this day in Boston Celtics history, a trio of regular-season wins took place over the last 10 years. The first of the three was a 100-94 overtime win over the Washington Wizards.

It saw outstanding performances from big man Kevin Garnett (20 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal), point guard Rajon Rondo (18 points, 4 boards, 14 assists, and 3 steals, and wing Paul Pierce (15 points, 10 rebounds and 4 steals). Guard Jason Terry also chipped in 16 points off the bench to help secure the win for the Celtics despite the team shooting just 30.8% from beyond the arc.

“Overall, it’s about the win; that’s what we did,” Rondo said at the time via the A.P.
