The Sultan of Stat was working like a dog trying to keep up with the exploits of Payton Pritchard and Derrick White.
Fortunately, The Sultan is also a dawg.

Career-high 41 pts for Derrick White
Career-high 43 pts for Payton Pritchard, second-most ever for a C’s player off the bench
First time two Celtics have each scored 40+ in a game

Payton Pritchard goes for 43 points; Derrick White has 41. Apparently they’d had enough of this Luka-LeBron $&%#.
Seriously, a wild night for those two, hitting 19-33 on 3’s in Boston’s 128-118 win over Portland.
(By the way, the 6-foot-1 Pritchard had a game-high 10 rebounds.) – 9:21 PM

Payton Pritchard and Derrick White are the first Celtics teammates EVER with 40+ points in the same game.
Not Tatum/Brown.
Not Pierce/Allen or Pierce/KG.
Not Bird/McHale.
Not Havlicek/Jones.
Not Heinsohn/Sharman.
Not Russell/Cousy.
Pritchard. White.
Unreal. – 9:11 PM

Payton Pritchard with a double stepback. Bet you’ve always wondered how he pulls that off and why it’s even legal.

Payton Pritchard learned how to finish around the rim from guys like Kemba Walker & Isaiah Thomas.
“They were unbelievable at finishing down low. … I learned how they got there and then I just practiced how to do it my way.”
