Breaking Down Payton Pritchard's Impactful Fourth Quarter Performance for the Celtics

Payton Pritchard leads the Celtics with a huge 4th Quarter

Last night, the Celtics needed a huge win against the Chicago Bulls to keep their hopes of competing in the In-Season Tournament alive. They were able to pull off a 9-point victory thanks to 6 Man of the Year candidate Payton Pritchard.

Boston had a close battle against the struggling Bulls throughout the whole game and was even trailing coming into the fourth quarter. Pritchard was single-handedly keeping the C's in the game, firing a barrage of threes and ending the game with 29 points, only trailing Tatum's 35.

Pritchard was able to fill in the shoes of Derrick White who went out with a right foot strain earlier in the game. Pritchard also kept the Celtics in the game with Brown having an off-night shooting, being only 33% from the field last night.
