but they missed a lot of open shots as well and if it wasn’t for Drew holiday keeping them afloat in this period as well they would have lost the game by this point as holiday goes in bang shot won’t go second effort how about true holiday JJ White on the drive gets inside nice speed holiday backs it home so in a crucial possession up by one the ball finds Andrew nard and nard goes in Orford PS up jumper puts it in nard with another big bucket and it’s a three-point lead what a huge shot by nard to put his team up by three and Boston has to score right here however Tatum misses it Indiana’s in a great position but halberton coughs it up a completely unforced error that could cost them the Celtics take this opportunity as why drives inside and he misses as well fight for the ball Tatum has it fires up a weird one-legged shot and he misses Indiana has the ball and Boston has to foul again for the free throws it’s finally over right right they still have a timeout if they can’t get it in Nim hard looking looking looking find seak knocked out of bounds no official call there was a hesitancy on the call and it’s Celtics ball P him trying to get free throwing in the corner Brown fakes fires up the three Bang Bang m brown knocks down the three to tie the game what is going on what did I just witness Indie had the win in their hands and they let it slip away multiple times what a shot by Browns saving the Celtics and sending this game into overtime oh my in OT despite all the momentum being on the side of the home team these young Pacers would not give up and they actually had the lead with a minute and change to go until Tatum took matters into his own hands Tatum wanting it gets it inside Tatum across the lane count it and a foul Banks it home and the game is time and holiday absolutely hounds halberton on this possession not allowing him to even see the basket and forcing yet another turnover which sets up the deciding moment of the game Albert chasing white white continues down the lane up to Tatum side step three-pointer puts it up bang they’re going to use Tatum as a screener he creates separation white delivers on time on target Big Time shot from Jason Tatum Tatum comes up huge and overtime and finally provide some breathing room for his team and his running mate is able to seal the deal right here with the perfect defensive stop getting the steel and securing the win albeit much more difficult than anyone expected so I gave this one a 9.0 rating on raid game and I agree with Chazzy I underestimated Indiana as well raid game game is an app that

This was a masterclass in how to lose a game. But what we saw in game 1, might be a sign for an interesting series.
Right at the startt, the Celtics jumped on Indiana and manifested their true power, showing why they were the number one team all season long.
Boston went on an electric 12-0 run to start the game, playing some stifling defense and punishing the Pacers on the offensive end.
But despite the initial shock, Indiana were able to stabilize things, and Obi Topin sped things up to the point where the Celtics couldn’t follow, so they made a run towards the end of the quarter.
The home team seemingly had a talent level and matchup advantage, but Indiana was able to level the playing field, imposing their style of play with a lot of running up and down the court, which baited Boston into shooting some rushed shots.
Meanwhile, watch how the ball is flying from man to man and side to side for Indiana, generating some great looks. By halftime they already had 22 assists, this is about the average for an NBA team for the entire game.
Myles Turner exploded in the 2nd quarter for 12 points, shooting a perfect 5 of 5 from the field, and dropping a few monster jams along the way.
Following their lights out shooting in game 7, The Pacers were super efficient shooting the ball in the 1st half of this one as well, 58.7% from the field and 53.3% from downtown. And just like that, they made it a tie game going into the break after this bomb from way outside by Haliburton.
Coming out of halftime, Boston blitzed the Pacers yet again. Defensively forcing them into a bunch of turnovers, it was as if they forgot how to play basketball.
And on the other end, Jayson Tatum and Jrue Holiday completely took over. With 21 combined points, they opened up a big lead for the Celtics, and it seemed like they finally broke through Indiana.
But when things looked dark for this team, an unlikely hero emerges. For like the 20 twentieth time in these playoffs. It’s TJ Mcconnel. Scoring, assisting and overall causing havoc for the Boston defense.
And just like that, they’re back in this game. Even more so, after yet another bomb by Hali.
Woooow, a display of wild shots by Tyrese in this game. We’re in for a dramatic finish.
In the 4th, watch Siakam literally destroy Boston with the same exact shot over and over again, to keep the Pacers in control of this game.
And the Celtics were struggling. Some of it was the defense, but they missed a lot of open shots as well, and if it wasn’t for Jrue Holiday keeping them afloat in this period as well, they would have lost the game by this point.
But in a crucial possession, up by 1, the ball finds Andrew Nembhard and..
What a huge shot by Nembhard to put his team up by 3 and Boston has to score right here however Tatum misses it.
Indiana’s in a great position but Haliburton coughs it up, a completely unforced error that could cost them.
The Celtics take this opportunity as White drives inside aaand misses, fight for the ball, Tatum has it, fires up a weird one legged shot and he misses. Indiana has it, and Boston has to foul again for the free throws. It’s finally over right? Right?
What is going on?! What did I just witness? Indy had the win in their hands and they let it slip away multiple times. What a shot by Brown saving the Celtics and sending this game into overtime. Oh my…
In OT, despite all the momentum being on the side of the home team, these young Pacers would not give up, and they actually had the lead with a minute and change to go, until Tatum took matters into his own hands.
And Holiday absolutely hounds Haliburton on this possession not allowing him to even see the basket, and forcing yet another turnover. Which sets up the deciding moment of the game.
Tatum comes up huge in overtime, and finally provides some breathing room for his team, and his running mate is able to seal the deal right here with the perfect defensive stop, getting the steal, and securing the win, albeit much more difficult than anyone expected.
I gave this one a 9.0 rating on rategame. And I agree with Chazzy I underestimate Indiana as well.
Rategame is an app that I’m a part of btw. We score each game by how good it is. There is a 6 hour window from the time the game ends so you watch it rate it and that’s it. No going back.
