Kemba Walker had a turn-the-clock-back kind of performance for the Boston Celtics this past Friday night, putting up 32 points on 10-19 shooting. His 3-point shot was crisp, as the UCONN product shot 40% from beyond the 3-point line on the night, picking up his fellow max contract stars Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.
The first-time All-Star and first-time All-Star starter, respectively, took a backseat role in the 118-112 win over the Indiana Pacers. Brown couldn’t get his shot going from beyond the arc, but instead attacked the basket and did a decent bit of facilitation (five assists) to go along seven rebounds.
