BOSTON — In a thrilling display of skill, Celtics guard Payton Pritchard delivered another clutch long-range shot at a crucial moment during Monday night’s game.
With just 0.4 seconds remaining in the third quarter, Pritchard sank a stunning 26-foot three-pointer from the right wing, putting Boston ahead 90-82 against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Pritchard has made a name for himself with his ability to perform under pressure. Last season, as the Celtics swept through to the NBA Finals, he played a pivotal role by making several important three-pointers, particularly during the championship series against the Dallas Mavericks, which they secured with a 4-1 victory.
His contributions included a remarkable half-court shot in Game 5, which was instrumental in clinching the series.

On Monday, Pritchard demonstrated his shooting prowess, making 8 of his first 12 attempts from beyond the arc.
Just months earlier, he achieved a personal best for three-pointers in a game with nine, a record he set on April 9, 2023, showcasing his evolving capabilities as a sharpshooter for the team.
