Kemba Walker is off to a great start in Boston.

The Celtics' newest star enjoyed another standout performance in Friday night's win over the Knicks, dropping 31 points to go along with six rebounds and five assists.

Walker's performance made him the first Celtics player to have 30+ points, 6+ rebounds and 4+ in three straight games since Paul Pierce accomplished the feat in 2002, according to Celtics Stats on Twitter.

Not bad company to be in.

The Celtics went on to win Friday night's game by a score of 104-102 thanks to a clutch game-winning shot by Jayson Tatum. They improve to 4-1 on the season and will take on the Cavaliers on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.
