Antoine Walker had 24 points and 10 rebounds to help the Celtics beat the Utah Jazz 109-102.

``It's great to be back,'' Walker said. ``I am excited about the opportunity to be back and make this work."

``'Toine was great,'' Doc Rivers said. ``You know what's nice with 'Toine is we had somewhere to go in the post.''

Andrei Kirilenko scored a season-high 29 points and Matt Harpring added 18 for the Jazz, who have lost six of their last seven games.
