Parquet plays: Celtics Pride is Payton Pritchard and Payton Pritchard is Celtics Pride

Wednesday night’s Game 2 win will be remembered by one image:

There were certainly other instances of infamy. I’m sure Al Horford didn’t take it too kindly that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope tripped him in transition after Horford had already accused him of “something extra” when he hard-fouled Jayson Tatum in Game 1.

As visceral as though plays were, I’m going to mentally bookmark two others in Wednesday night’s win.
