Payton Pritchard has earned his reputation as Boston's microwave scorer off the bench, but on November 30, 2025, he turned the heat all the way up. Early in the first quarter at Rocket Arena, the fearless guard created separation with a nasty stepback from 23 feet, burying the jumper to put Boston up 7-0 and setting the tone for what would become a spectacular night. Pritchard torched Cleveland for 42 points on a sizzling 15-of-22 shooting, including 6-of-11 from deep, leading the Celtics to a hard-fought 117-115 victory. · Nov 30, 2025
