Scoring the highest score in the team! The Celtics super sixth man s condition has finally begun to recover?

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals G3, the Boston Celtics, who had previously lagged behind 0-2, easily defeated the New York Knicks who returned to home with 115-93. After this game, the Celtics won a goal and they tied the total score of the series to 1-2. It seems that this round of series still has great suspense.

In this game, the performance of Celtics' substitute point guard Payton Pritchard is impressive. Pritchard played 34 minutes and 31 seconds in the game, 8 of 16 shots, 5 of 10 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, and obtained the team's highest score of 23 points plus 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. There were 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +8. Pritchard's performance on the offensive end is quite reliable. He showed comprehensive scoring ability and his feel outside the three-point line has been fully utilized. Pritchard's performance on the defensive end is quite standard, at least it did not cause much trouble to the team. Overall, Prichard played the role of the super sixth man well in this game. His effect on the court is very outstanding, and it seems difficult for the opponent to effectively limit him. This is also an important factor in the team being able to achieve such a big victory in such a key game.

In the NBA regular season this season, Pritchard made a total of 80 appearances in 82 games, averaging 28.4 minutes per game, averaging 14.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.5 fouls. He shot 47.2%, three-point shooting percentage 40.7%, and free throw shooting percentage 84.5%. In the playoffs, Prichard averaged 26.9 minutes in the first eight games, with averaging 11.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.5 steals, and a turnover and 2.1 fouls. He shot 48.4%, three-point shooting percentage 45.2%, and free throw shooting percentage 80%.

Prichard's performance during the playoffs was actually quite average. It seems that his offensive efficiency is pretty good, but the problem is that his scoring ability is not well played. Pritchard is the best sixth man winner of the season, and his scoring ability is obvious to all. He is also the league's top bench scorer. Pritchard should also assume more responsibilities during the playoffs, but his performance did not fully achieve this, which actually led to the team's defeat in the previous two games to a certain extent. In this game, Prichard was in excellent form and the team also won a victory. I just don't know if Pritchard can maintain this level next.
