The legend of Payton Pritchard took a hit Tuesday night.
Any buzz of the 92-point performance the Celtics guard turned in during a Pro-Am Tournament was quickly washed away thanks in large part to Kings rookie Davion Mitchell.
This year's ninth overall pick locked up Pritchard for much fo the Kings' 100-67 rout of the Celtics in the NBA Summer League championship game, holding the C's second-year sharp-shooter to just six points.
Don't let the Payton Pritchard "hype" fool y'all 😒

All things considered, Pritchard is still coming out of the summer offering more optimism for the Celtics than anticipated.
