Payton Pritchard ended the first quarter with an exclamation point on Friday night.
The Celtics trailed the Washington Wizards by seven in the final seconds of the opening frame. With just two seconds before the break, Pritchard took the inbound and heaved a shot from well beyond half-court. He banked it in off the glass for his first points of the game, and a momentum boost for Boston.
