Sunday afternoon the Boston Celtics played host to the Atlanta Hawks to conclude the 2022-23 regular season, grabbing a 120-114 win in the process. Boston will end the year with a 57-25 record and the No. 2 seed in the East as the playoffs begin next week.
Both sides rested their key players, making this Easter tilt a showcase for role players and bench guys, and while Boston saw key contributions from guys like Mike Muscala am Hauser, it was Payton Pritchard who stole the show. Pritchard ended the night with 30 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists securing his first career triple-double as a professional in the process. (He also logged 46 minutes of action, suggesting his injured heel is doing okay.)
