Mazzulla Praises Pritchard's Rebounding Over Scoring

Payton Pritchard led the Boston Celtics with 36 points in their win over the Hawks, but head coach Joe Mazzulla was most impressed by his rebounding effort.

Even with Pritchard's scoring prowess, Mazzulla emphasized that the guard's grit is defined by more than just points. "I thought the ball handling... two offensive rebounds that were huge for us," Mazzulla noted. Standing at 6'1, Pritchard continues to defy size limitations, averaging four rebounds per game this season.
