After Game 1, Boston Celtics reserve guard Payton Pritchard was asked how he was adjusting to his shrunken role in the postseason rotation in the Celtics’ first-round series with the Brooklyn Nets, and the West Linn native replied that he was ready to make the most of whatever opportunity came his way.
In Game 2, Pritchard did precisely that. A key part of the second-half comeback that put Boston up 2 – 0 over Brooklyn, the Oregon product had seen just 3 minutes of play in Game 1 — scoring 3 points — but saw his number called in the following contest, putting up a critical 10 points in 16 minutes of playing time while going a sizzling 5-of-7 from the field.
Check out Fast PP’s best plays from the Game 2 win over the Nets in the video embedded below while we wait for Game 3 to roll around on Friday.
