Payton Pritchard only scored three points for the Boston Celtics in their series-clinching Game 5 win, but they were an important three points to his teammates.
BOSTON — Luka Dončić bullied his way into the paint, past Jayson Tatum and to the rim. With four seconds left in the first half of Game 5, he dropped in a floater. A foul was called on Tatum, too, sending Dončić to the foul line. A made free throw would cut the Boston Celtics' lead to 17 — substantial, but not insurmountable. And it would send the Mavericks into the locker room on a high note. Which is exactly what Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla wanted to prevent.
You know, as the playoffs go on, obviously some patterns change and things change, but those guys have to win moments of games for you, and Payton did that twice for us. That is just as important as any other plays that happened throughout the series and in the playoffs alone.' Last year, in the lead up to the trade deadline, Pritchard told the Celtics that he wanted a trade.
