BOSTON — Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown is primarily thought of as a scorer. Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard is generally considered an undersized shooter, and not much else. However, after a 142-105 blowout win over the Indiana Pacers on Friday night, they asserted — on one another’s behalf — that they’re both more than […]

Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid’s season has been defined by Murphy’s Law thus far.
