What Semi Ojeleye and Payton Pritchard accomplished on Thursday night was not only impressive, it was historic.
The Boston Celtics duo combined 44 points in their 120 to 106 victory over the Toronto Raptors. Ojeleye finished with 24 points, the best of his career, and Pritchard added 20 points on the bench.

Both players scored 6 out of 8 in the 3-point streak and made history in the Celtics in the process. According to Celtics statistics on Twitter, Ojeleye and Pritchard are the first teammates in C history to do at least six 3s in a game.
Yes, you read correctly. They are the first companions of the Celtics ever to accomplish the feat.
Now, this is a wild statistic.
The Celtics expect more contributions from their support cast when they host the Detroit Pistons on Friday night. The tip is scheduled for 8 pm at TD Garden, with “Celtics Pregame Live” at 7 pm right here on NBC Sports Boston.
