Portland Trail Blazers at Boston Celtics
· National Basketball AssociationPritchard scores career-high 43, knocks down 10 3s to lead Celtics over Blazers 128-118

Derrick White added career highs with 41 points and nine 3s to lead Boston to its eighth victory in 10 games, making Pritchard and White the first Celtic duo to score 40 or more points in the same game and the first duo in NBA history with nine or more 3-pointers each in a game.
With starters Jayson Tatum (shoulder), Jrue Holiday (finger) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) all sitting out, Pritchard picked up the scoring load for a Celtics team that made 23 3-pointers.
The game remained tight throughout the first half, featuring five ties and 15 lead changes. But Boston outscored the Blazers 36-27 in the third quarter.
Anfernee Simons led Portland with 30 points and Shaedon Sharpe added 25.
It was the sixth game of a seven-game road trip for the Blazers, who had won four of their previous five.
Celtics: Another solid win in which a reserve stepped up and made a significant impact. Having that depth adds to Boston’s chances of repeating as NBA champions.
