Kemba Walker continued setting the NBA ablaze, and the Celtics were his latest victims. The Hornets guard had 43 points in a 117-112 win over Boston in Charlotte.

Brad Stevens made the game-time call to start Aron Baynes and bring Gordon Hayward off the bench, but neither player contributed a great deal in this one.

The Celtics offensively were solid and Kyrie Irving had 27 points and 11 assists, as Boston had a helper on 31 of 45 made baskets. But, Walker shredding the defense, particularly in a 21-point fourth quarter.
