Payton Pritchard of the Boston Celtics has solidified his status as a top contender for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award by breaking the record for most 3-pointers made off the bench in a single season. Following the Celtics' victory over the Nets, he achieved this milestone with a total of 219 three-pointers. Pritchard's performance, including 22 points and several assists and rebounds, highlights his vital role on the team, supported by endorsements from teammates like Jayson Tatum and Coach Mazzulla.
"It just means I did my job off the bench at a high level, and hopefully I can continue to do that," Pritchard told reporters postgame.
"What he brings to this team on a given night, especially off the bench...he got to be Sixth Man of the Year," Tatum said.
"Pritchard just has an ability to impact the game in so many ways...It takes a special person to fulfill that role, and he takes pride in it," Mazzulla said.
