Another game, another Payton Pritchard 20-piece.
Monday’s win over the Miami Heat saw the Boston Celtics guard record his fourth straight 20+-point game off the bench. It was the eighth time this season that the former Oregon Duck surpassed that mark.
To add some perspective, in Pritchard’s first four years in Boston, he scored 20+ just 18 times. That number drops to just seven if you remove last season from the equation.
PP’s current run has been a blast to watch. He followed up a pair of high-scoring fourth quarters against the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers, with a game-sealing third quarter against the Heat.
