Pritchard Scores 28 Points and Has Red-Hot 3rd Quarter to Carry Celtics to 134-99 Rout over Bulls
Pritchard hit all five 3-pointers in Boston’s decisive third quarter, and the Celtics shot 8 of 13 from deep in the period.
- On Monday, the Boston Celtics defeated the Chicago Bulls 134-99 at TD Garden, led by Payton Pritchard's 28 points. Pritchard scored 19 of those points in the third quarter to power the dominant home victory.
- Pritchard entered the game struggling after laboring against defensive pressure from the Pistons and Knicks in his first two games, attempting only 14 shots. He broke out of his two-game shooting skid on Monday to deliver a dominant third-quarter performance.
- Forward Jayson Tatum added 23 points, seven rebounds, and six assists, while Paul George contributed 16 points. The Celtics shot 51 percent from the field, controlling the game despite committing 25 turnovers.
- Head coach Joe Mazzulla expressed concern about the 25 turnovers both teams committed during the contest. The 2-1 Celtics will host the 0-3 Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday to continue their season.
- This victory marked the start of the Celtics' first back-to-back set of the season. The team must navigate six back-to-back sets before the end of November, a scheduling challenge that will test roster depth.
