Pritchard’s 29-Point Masterclass Propels Celtics to Unexpected Blowout Over Kings
Pritchard had 22 points and eight assists through two quarters as the Celtics held a commanding 72-46 lead entering the second half. Boston opened the game by hitting its first five shots and was 8 of 10 en route to a 15-point advantage after one quarter.
After Scheierman’s layup gave the Celtics a 21-point lead with 2:27 left in the opening half, the guard who started in place for the injured Jaylen Brown stayed hot with a 3-pointer that came with just over a minute left before halftime.
Even with Boston building on its already comfortable advantage in the third quarter, coach Joe Mazzulla challenged two calls and was successful each time. In the same quarter, the Celtics’ lead peaked at 31 points.
