On this date in the year 2000, former Boston Celtics forward Antoine Walker scored a triple-double in a 99 – 87 loss to the Charlotte Hornets.
The Kentucky product put up 20 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists with 1 foul and 6 turnovers in just under 45 minutes of playing time in the losing effort. he would hit just seven 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 five of his six trips to the stripe. Teammate Paul Pierce added 19 points and 5 rebounds and Bryant Stith chipped in another 14, but it wasn’t enough to secure the win for Boston.
