Celtics bench unit getting chance to shine in final stretch of regular season

On Friday night, the Boston Celtics’ bench unit hung on to beat the Sacramento Kings by a single point. Two nights later, on Sunday, they took over the fourth quarter, wrapping up a game that the Portland Trail Blazers had kept within striking distance for most of the evening.

Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, Svi Mykhailiuk, and Xavier Tillman played the entire fourth quarter, while Oshae Brissett (8:53) and Luke Kornet (3:07) split the other minutes.

When that group took over, the Celtics were up by five points.
