In a Sunday showdown at Crypto.com Center, Pritchard dominated with 30 points and 8 assists, including a buzzer‑beating triple, as the Celtics defeated the Lakers 111‑89.
Jaylen Brown praised Pritchard’s growth, noting his “fire” in the second half of the season and his ability to thrive after moving to the bench. Pritchard has scored 20+ points in six of seven games since February 3, averaging over 20 points per game in February on 50% shooting.
