Based on a quick scan, the Celtics last made zero 3-pointers during Game 1 of a 2012 first-round series against Atlanta. Thanks to Payton Pritchard, the Celtics will not match that mark tonight. – 7:03 PM

Payton Pritchard finally ends the Celtics drought and hits a 3.
Boston had been 0-for-20 from deep.
Yet only down one point at Washington. – 7:01 PM

Burying Aaron Nesmith is dumb. I hate this Celtics season so far. – 5:50 PM

Payton Pritchard must hate playing with the mask on. He never missed shots by this much during his rookie year or at Summer League. – 5:40 PM
