What Semi Oeieye and Payton Pritchard accomplished Thursday night was not only impressive, but historic.
The Boston Celtics duo collectively scored 44 points in the 120-106 victory over the Toronto Raptors. Oeieye eventually reached a career high of 24, and Pritchard added 20 off the bench.

Both players reached 6-for-8 from three-point and made Celtics ’history in the process. According to Celtics Stats on Twitter, Oeieye and Pritchard are the first teammates in C’s history to both score at least six tries in a game.
Yes, you read that right. They are the first teammates of Celtics ever to achieve the achievement.
Now this is a wild stat.
