Celtics' Pritchard sets new three-pointer bench record

sbnation.com

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard set a new NBA record for the most three-pointers made off the bench in a single season, hitting his 219th shot during a game against the Brooklyn Nets. This breaks Wayne Ellington's previous record of 218, set in 2018. Pritchard's achievement comes after he requested a trade earlier this season, feeling he had no chance to start. The Celtics declined his request, and he has since played a key role in their success, contributing to their 2024 championship win. The Celtics lead the league in three-point attempts, averaging 48.1 per game. Other players, like Malik Beasley of the Detroit Pistons, are close to breaking Pritchard's record, indicating it may not last long.
