In a month that’s been a rollercoaster for the Celtics, Friday was a good part of the ride.
The Celtics got a much-needed 121-109 win over the Hawks, two days after losing to them, which was also their fifth loss in seven games. What might have been even better for the Celtics was that they got a big performance from their star point guard.
Kemba Walker scored 28 points on 10-of-16 shooting for the Celtics Friday night, giving him season-highs in points and shots made. Of the 28 points, 20 came in the first half.
