Boston fans are one of the most passionate supporters in all of professional sports, and their unwavering love for their team was on full display on Tuesday. Surely, they had their role to play in their team's success against one of the best teams in the NBA right now.
For his part, Walker was on point yet again on Tuesday, scoring a game-high 32 points on 9-of-18 from the floor and 9-of-11 from the line, along with five 3-pointers, five rebounds, three assists, and a block in 36 minutes of action. The three-time All-Star has been killing it for Boston all season long, and is undoubtedly been instrumental in his team's strong start to the season.
Walker may be new to the Celtics culture, having just arrived this summer following eight seasons with the Charlotte Hornets. Nevertheless, he has been welcomed by the city with open arms, and at this point, he is obviously feeling the love from Boston's one-of-a-kind fan base.
The Celtics are currently in possession of a 18-7 record, and are sitting at the second spot in the East, bettered only by the league-best Milwaukee Bucks (24-4). They are off on Thursday, but will be back in action on Friday night, as they face off against the Detroit Pistons at the TD Garden.
