Could the Boston Celtics trade star forward Jaylen Brown if the New York Knicks sweep their team? If you ask former Boston floor general Jeff Teague, such a drastic move is definitely on the table for the Celtics if things go as bad as they could in Boston's 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series against their Atlantic Division foes.

Pritchard missed his first long bomb, a pull-up in transition over Jalen Brunson. A few possessions later, he found himself wide open after coming off a pair of screens. He was well behind the 3-point line, but he let it fly and gave Boston a 32-16 lead late in the first quarter.

Still down 2-1, the Celtics could need more big games from Pritchard later in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Jayson Tatum had 22 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, Payton Pritchard scored 23 points and the Boston Celtics easily got their first win in the Eastern Conference semifinals by routing the New York Knicks 115-93 on Saturday in Game 3.
