Celtics Crush 76ers, Pritchard Makes History

On April 27, the Boston Celtics grabbed a commanding 3-1 lead over the Philadelphia 76ers

with a blowout 128-2.

96 win in Game 4 on Sunday night.

They're heading back home now, sitting pretty to close out the series, and history says

only 4% of teams down 3-1 pull-off A. Come back.

Payton Pritchard lit it up off the bench with 32 points, joining Rare Company as just

the third Celtic in playoff history to drop 30 ore.

More from the reserves, Kevin McCale did it twice and Eddie House once, both on championship

squads, so Pritchard's putting himself in elite territory.

That scorned punch kept Boston's offense humming even with the second unit, stretching

Philly's defense thin and building an insurmountable lead.

Early, fans are buzzing about how it shows the Celtics' death no matter who's on the

floor.

Jason Tatum and Pritchard also made history together, becoming just the eighth duo in NBA playoff

annals to each score 30-plus points with Etc.

Least five threes in the same game.

They're the first teammates to hit that marks since Jalen Brunson and Luca Doncic back

in 2022.

With the series tilting heavy in their favor, Boston is a quick finish at TD Garden, keeping

their championship push rolling strong.
