BOSTON – Celtics guard Payton Pritchard was at it again Monday night, working some long-range magic late in the quarter.

He hit a 26-foot 3-pointer from the right wing with 0.4 seconds left, giving Boston a 90–82 lead over the Milwaukee Bucks after three quarters.

During Boston’s run to the NBA championship last season, the 6-foot-2 Pritchard hit a pair of key 3-pointers during the Finals as the Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks 4-1.

Pritchard nailed a shot from nearly half court in Boston’s Game 5 win that ended the series.

He made 8 of 12 from 3-point range Monday night and finished with 28 points in Boston’s 119-108 win. His career high for 3s is nine, set on April 9, 2023.
