Jrue Holiday and Jayson Tatum played a great NBA playoffs game in the 111:114 victory over the Indiana Pacers.
The Indiana Pacers received very bad news before this game, as it was confirmed that Tyrese Haliburton would not be part of the team.
The opportunity missed by the Pacers is highlighted by the fact that the Celtics, before their comeback in the final moments, last led at the end of the first quarter when the score was 32:31. After that, the home team held a substantial lead, reaching up to +18 on two occasions.
In the closing moments, the aforementioned duo shone. This mainly refers to the Jrue Holiday. First, he scored with a foul, then followed it up with a steal and made free throws to seal the game.
The top scorer for the winning team was Tatum, who, in addition to 36 points, also grabbed 10 rebounds. Al Horford scored 24 points, and Jaylen Brown added 23. On the other side, Andrew Nembhard was excellent with 32 points, while Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner each scored 22 points.
The next game is scheduled for May 28 at 2:00 AM, with the Indiana Pacers hosting again.
