In a thrilling game against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Boston Celtics secured their fourth straight win with a stellar performance from Payton Pritchard. Pritchard exploded for 28 points in just 28 minutes off the bench, tying the franchise record for most made threes in a single game. Bucks coach Doc Rivers admitted that something told him to pay attention to Pritchard before the game, and his intuition proved right as the young guard played a game-changing role.
Pritchard’s buzzer-beater magic was on display once again as he sank a step-back 3-pointer in the closing seconds of the third quarter, giving the Celtics an eight-point lead heading into the fourth. His shooting prowess jumpstarted the team’s outside game, helping to overcome a slow start where the Celtics missed their first seven shots.
Pritchard’s fearless approach to clutch moments and his ability to provide a spark off the bench has been a valuable asset for the team. He credited his confidence and aggressive mindset for his performance, emphasizing the importance of bringing energy and being a pest defensively.
With Pritchard’s impressive showing and the Celtics’ overall team effort, they were able to edge out the Bucks and continue their winning streak. The team looks forward to building on this momentum as they strive for success in the upcoming games.
