Payton Pritchard's dogged pursuit as he chased over screens to disrupt the Heat's shooters and consistently pushing the pace were crucial aspects of the Celtics' Game 3 win over the Heat.
His stat line: seven points, three rebounds, and an assist, pales in comparison to what came from him pushing the pace off misses and makes to help ensure Boston consistently created quality shots.
Those misses aided the visitors' up-tempo attack, which helped minimize the Celtics faring 11/37 from three-point range. "I even got a couple of offensive rebounds. Anytime I get that, it kind of gets me going a little bit more. So, for me, it doesn't mean shooting, but pushing it every time can help this team with the flow of things."
Pointing to an essential aspect of how Pritchard pushed through being on the outside of the rotation last season, Jayson Tatum conveyed,"Payton is one of the most confident guys I've ever been around.
