While the Celtics fought their way to another impressive win over the Knicks on in front of a packed TD Garden crowd on Sunday, there was one aspect of the day in which Boston players came up a little short.
Is it the shoes? Chris Forsberg breaks down how Payton Pritchard is having his best season yet while rocking Jaylen Brown's new 741 sneakers.
Behind blistering 3-point shooting, including eight 3-pointers from Pritchard, the Celtics obliterated the 76ers for their eighth win in nine games.
Jaylen Brown scored 24 points, Derrick White had 22, and the Boston Celtics beat the Raptors 111-101 on Tuesday night.
Pritchard tallied 20 points (8-17 FG, 4-13 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 111-101 win over Toronto.
With Jaylen Brown out and the Pistons rested, the Celtics had little left to offer after a valiant second-quarter run. Led by the hot shooting and trash talk of Malik Beasley, the Pistons dominated the Celtics in the second and ran away to a 117-97 win.
Payton Pritchard made eight 3-pointers and scored 28 points, Jayson Tatum finished with his fourth career triple-double, and the Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers 124-104.
