The C’s rested their starters, so the “Stay Ready Crew” got its chance to shine at TD Garden. It did just that with five Celtics players scoring in double figures: Drew Peterson (23 points), Lonnie Walker IV (20 points), Payton Pritchard (19 points), Jordan Walsh (16 points), and Neemias Queta (12 points).
Pritchard was 5-of-11 from 3-point range while dishing a game-high nine assists. Queta led all players with 15 rebounds, including six offensive boards.
Boston will look to finish its preseason a perfect 5-0 when it visits Toronto for a rematch on Tuesday night. Tip-off for that matchup is set for 7 p.m. ET.
