Payton Pritchard was masterful in the second half of the Boston Celtics' 125-117 win over the Toronto Raptors on Friday night. After the intermission ended, the sixth-year guard generated 16 points, six assists, five rebounds, and one block. He knocked down 7/10 shots and didn't commit a turnover.

The former Oregon star made a living in the paint.
