BOSTON - National Basketball Association (NBA) champions Boston Celtics shrugged off the absence of All-Star Jayson Tatum, raining 20 three-pointers in a lopsided 123-99 home win over the Detroit Pistons on Dec 12.

 With Tatum sidelined by a sore right knee, reserve Payton Pritchard stepped up to lead the team scoring with 27 points and 10 assists as they notched a 12th straight victory over the Pistons.
Pritchard drilled seven three-pointers and reached 500 for his career - the 10th Celtic to reach that mark.
"Payton's been awesome," NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Jaylen Brown said of his contribution off the bench all season, which has the guard in the conversation for the Sixth Man of the Year award.
"We've all seen it coming. We've got a lot of talent on this team and he's capable of doing that each and every night."
Guard Derrick White also made seven from beyond the arc on the way to 23 points. Center Kristaps Porzingis scored 19 and Brown chipped in 14 as six Celtics players scored in double figures.
