Watch: Payton Pritchard makes another buzzer-beater, tying the franchise 3-point record for the Boston Celtics

Payton Pritchard is on fire.

The Boston Celtics guard bolstered his reputation as a long-range 3-point shooter and did so again on Monday night. In the game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Pritchard made a 26-foot jumper with 0.4 seconds left in the third quarter for a 3-point lead.

Pritchard's shot extended the Celtics' lead to 90-82 and gave them momentum in the fourth quarter, and the Celtics cruised to a 119-108 victory.

“I just live for these moments,” Pritchard told reporters after the game. “The clock went down and I think there were six seconds left, so all I had to do was get a point and increase it. And in those moments I kind of black out and just let it fly. And obviously it often works for me.”

The three-pointer was the highlight of a night where the former Oregon Ducks and West Linn High School star put on a show.

Pritchard scored 28 points and made 10 of 14 shots from the floor, including eight of his 12 3-pointers, tying the franchise record for 3-pointers made off the bench set by Eddie House in 2009. He also added five rebounds, including three assists and two steals.

Pritchard has scored double-digit points in the last three games after struggling in the regular season opener. He's well on his way to a career year and a possible Sixth Man of the Year award. He is 21 of 48 from the field (48.8%) and 19 of 38 from long distance (50%). He also has 12 rebounds, nine assists and three steals. He leads the league with 65 points off the bench.

The numbers are impressive, but it's the impressive long-range 3-point shots that made him a star. Additionally, his work ethic and ability to endure difficult times early in his career and overcome adversity have endeared him to fans.

“I feel like it's coming because I look like an ordinary person and I feel like I give hope to everyone who's as tall as me,” Pritchard told reporters after the game. “I'm not necessarily the most athletic, but with hard work you can go far and I think I'm the best example of that. I never give up – and I keep going. You can achieve anything you set out to do in life. That’s why I’m proud to give these people hope.”
