Payton Pritchard is welcoming Malik Beasley's trash talk as as the two super-subs battle it out for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award.

The Boston Celtics returned from the All-Star break by cruising to an effortless 124-104 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night. And as he has done for much of the season, Payton Pritchard delivered the goods for the Celtics off the bench, helping them salt this game away early in the second half.

Despite missing nearly half of their core rotation, the Celtics dispatched the Raptors on the road for their sixth straight win.

Payton Pritchard made eight 3-pointers and scored 28 points, Jayson Tatum finished with his fourth career triple-double, and the Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers 124-104.
