Pritchard and White Make Historic 40-Point Performances in Celtics Win

Payton Pritchard and Derrick White set NBA and franchise records in Boston's victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Payton Pritchard scored a career-high 43 points off the bench, becoming the first NBA player to record 40 points, 10 rebounds, 10 three-pointers, and five assists in a regulation game.
Derrick White added a career-high 41 points, with both players making nine or more three-pointers, a first in NBA history for teammates in a single game.
The Celtics, missing key starters Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday, and Kristaps Porzingis, showcased their depth in the 128-118 victory.
Boston set a franchise milestone as Pritchard and White became the first Celtics duo to each score 40 points in the same game.
Portland's Anfernee Simons led his team with 30 points, but the Trail Blazers' late-game rally fell short against Boston's efficient three-point shooting.
