Pritchard's 32 Points Lead Celtics to Brink of Round 2

0:00On April 27, Boston Celtics are won-win from the second round, after crushing the Philadelphia 76ers, 128-96. In game 4, Sunday at Exfinity Mobile Arena. Peyton Pritchard exploded for 32 points off the bench in just 35 minutes, leading the charge with hot 3 points shooting, plus 4. Re-bounds, 5 assists, and a steal. They jumped out huge early, outscoring Philly 34 to 18 in the first quarter, and never looked back. This win spoiled Joel Imbees' return from his emergency appendectomy, putting the Celtics up 3 games to 1 in the series. Pritchard's been a scoring machine his whole career, from Oregon College days to earning 6 man of the year last season. He even started 50 games this year amid Jason Tatum's Achilles issues, hitting career highs of 17 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game. He's only the third Celtic ever to drop 30 plus off the bench in playoffs, joining legends like Kevin McCale and Eddie House, and do not sleep on his defense.
