Payton Pritchard scores 42, Jaylen Brown gets triple-double as Celtics outlast Cavaliers 117-115
CLEVELAND (AP) — Payton Pritchard scored a season-high 42 points, Jaylen Brown got his fourth career triple-double and the Boston Celtics barely held on to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 117-115 on Sunday night after giving up most of their big lead.
The Cavaliers struggled to slow down Payton Pritchard and despite a trio of 3s in the final minute, Cleveland fell to the Celtics Nov. 30.
Just like last year's playoffs, the Celtics intentionally fouled Knicks big man Mitchell Robinson to get him to the free throw line.
