Pritchard's Hot Hand Lifts Celtics Over Lakers

Payton Pritchard scored a game-high 30 points with 8 assists as the Boston Celtics defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 111-89, continuing his recent hot streak.

The Celtics' sixth man has been on fire since moving to the bench on Feb. 3, scoring 20+ points in six of seven games. Jaylen Brown praised Pritchard's humility and improved play, noting how the guard has 'figured it out' and raised his level of play during this stretch.
