SOUND OFF: Celtics Backups Secure Win Amid Crunch Time Chaos vs. Kings Starters
Listen now
Description
It’s time to sound off in a wild final sequence that left the Boston Celtics with a 101-100 win over the Sacramento Kings thanks to a game-winning floater from none other than Xavier Tillman Sr. That’s right, the big man came up with the game-winning shot with 7.4 seconds left after Sacramento had erased a 19-point deficit and taken a one-point lead with 27 seconds left. This was after Joe Mazzulla rode with his bench players for the entirety of crunch time against Sacramento, while the Kings were using all of their starters. Tillman Sr. gave the Celtics the win, but Payton Pritchard was the guy who made the team tick all night long. We dive into his recent stretch of high-level ball and his team-best 21 points against Sacramento, and dissect Mazzulla’s decision to ride his reserves in crunch time.
