Payton Pritchard scores 43 points on 10 3-pointers, and Derrick White adds 4 on nine 3s to become the first duo in NBA history to both make nine or more 3s in the same game.
The Boston Celtics have made a habit of setting offensive records over the past several years. Their 122.2 offensive rating a season ago is the best any team has ever posted over a full season. They are on track to break records for both 3-point attempts and 3-pointers made this season.

Payton Pritchard and Derrick White have been mostly glue guys during their time with the Boston Celtics, filling in gaps and providing sparks when necessary. Pritchard scored a career-high 43 points and had a career-best 10 3-pointers to lead the short-handed Celtics past the Portland Trail Blazers 128-118.
Pritchard and White combined for 84 points, becoming the first Celtics teammates to reach the 40-point mark in the same game, and the first duo in NBA history to connect on at least nine 3-pointers.
