Pritchard and White also became the first teammates in NBA history to each hit at least nine 3-pointers on the same night.

The Celtics, of course, cruised through their championship run in 2024 with a 16-3 playoff record after a 64-18 regular-season campaign that topped the NBA. Boston still has all its essential contributors from that run, and now, an improved Pritchard.

Payton Pritchard and Derrick White are now etched in Boston Celtics history forever. The unlikely duo exploded for the shorthanded Celtics in Wednesday night's win over the Trail Blazers, becoming the first Celtics teammates to each score at least 40 points in the same game.
