Payton Pritchard’s huge night lifts Celtics over Bucks for fourth straight win: 8 takeaways

The Celtics pulled away from the Bucks in the second half, claiming a 119-108 victory for their fourth-straight win to start the season.

Here are the takeaways.

1. The Celtics looked a little sluggish in the first half, which was something of a surprise since the Bucks were the team playing their third game in four nights. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown struggled early, the Celtics (Payton Pritchard excepted, more on him in a minute) went cold from three, and the Bucks looked like a team very cognizant of how their recent losses to the Nets and Bulls looked.
