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

Both players went 6-for-8 from a 3-point range, making Celtics history. According to Celtics Stats on Twitter, Ojeleye and Pritchard are the first teammates in C history to both make at least six threes in a match.
Yes, you read that right. They are the first Celtics teammates ever to accomplish the feat.
That’s a wild stat.
The Celtics are hoping for more contributions from their supporting cast when they host the Detroit Pistons Friday night. Tip-off is scheduled for 8pm at TD Garden, with “Celtics Pregame Live” at 7pm here on NBC Sports Boston.
