Before the fourth quarter of the Pistons game, it looked like Payton Pritchard might be coming back to earth. Then Pritchard poured in 12 points and 3 rebounds in the final frame. And Joe Mazzulla appreciated every minute of it.
“I thought he made big-time plays whether it was the offensive rebound, whether it was the play at the end of the game, or just pushing the place. You know, he kinda just has the ability to impact the game in different ways.”
A classic misnomer is that Mazzulla Ball is simply trying to shoot as many three-point shots as possible.
