On this day: Walker triple-doubles vs Hornets; Newlin hangs 52 on Celtics

On this day in Boston Celtics history, forward Antoine Walker scored a triple-double in a 99-87 loss to the Charlotte Hornets back in 2000. The Kentucky product put up 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists with 1 foul and 6 turnovers in a little under 45 minutes of playing time in the losing effort by Boston.

He would hit a mere 7 of his 20 field goal attempts that evening and just one of his seven 3-point attempts, a likely significant factor in the loss — though Walker did connect on 5 of his 6 trips to the charity stripe that night.
