Luke Kornet went for 10 points in the game’s first 7:04. After his last hoop (a tip-in of Payton Pritchard’s miss), he turned to the Celtic bench and barked (actually “woof”-ed) as he ran back on defense.
Some people just have more fun at work than others. – 8:02 PM

Jared Weiss: Payton Pritchard has signed a shoe deal with Converse, sources told @TheAthletic . Pritchard joins Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Kelly Oubre Jr. as the Boston brand’s signature NBA players. “As a player, I’m always looking for ways to push the boundaries of what’s possible, and Converse shares that same mindset,” Pritchard said in a statement. “I’m excited to join the Converse Basketball family and help inspire the next generation of athletes to find their voice and express themselves on and off the court.” -via x.com / April 3, 2025
“What happened in the Finals and how I was being guarded on that stage, it was one of the lowest points. I told Draymond after the Olympics that he kind of changed my life,” White said when asked by CLNS about the turning point in his shooting career. “They weren’t guarding me, so I had to go into that summer, me and my trainer Marcus Mason, and just focus on being consistent, and from that point on I’ve been able to get better and better.” Nearly three years later — White hit his 246th three of the 2024-25 season and broke Isaiah Thomas’ Celtics single-season three point record from 2017. Modern three-point volume makes those records falling inevitable, White already imagining Jayson Tatum and Payton Pritchard hot on his heels surpassing him. But for a 31.2% shooter with Boston through the 2022 regular season and playoffs to set the standard speaks to White’s growth into an indispensable part of the Celtics’ core. He became that level of a shooter. -via CLNSMedia.com / April 1, 2025
