Payton Pritchard Scores 42, Jaylen Brown Gets Triple-Double as Celtics Outlast Cavaliers

On Sunday night, Payton Pritchard scored 42 and the Celtics beat the Cavaliers 117-115, with a late rally falling inches short at the final horn.
Arriving on the second night of a back-to-back, the Boston Celtics were without Jayson Tatum, Derrick White and Neemias Queta, while the Cleveland Cavaliers missed Jarrett Allen, Lonzo Ball, Sam Merrill and Larry Nance Jr.
Payton Pritchard, Celtics guard, made six 3-pointers and hit key late shots, while Jaylen Brown, Boston All-Star forward, recorded 19 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.
The Celtics have won seven of their last 10 and sit ninth, trailing the fourth-place Heat by two games, while the Cavaliers head to Indiana on Monday amid a taxing back-to-back.
The roster should get healthier, and Boston Celtics remain improbably competitive with time for the 82-game season to swing upward as Sunday added another page.
