hello it’s your favorite sports Unk here don’t forget to hit that subscribe button to join the fastest growing community on YouTube Remember night cap doesn’t happen without you so please subscribe or you’re going to make oo cry Oo we knew this thing was going to be a very daunting task yeah without Tyrese halberton who is the uh all NBA player the allstar and the Pacers led the game until the very end but the Celtics and Drew holiday gets a three-point play on one end to give him a one-point lead strips the ball from Nim hard on the other end uh uh uh and get hits two free throws and so they end up winning the game 114 to 111 uh the Boston Celtics Trail much of the uh the entirety of the game the last time they LED until they took the lead for good they LED 3231 I don’t really know what else the Pacers can do oo because they they can’t play any better Pascal had 22 points uh Miles Turner had 22 points and 10 rebounds uh Nim hard he had 32 points yeah uh TJ McConnell came off the bench he gave he gave you 23 points so they had four guys with 20 plus points they shot 50% from the floor but Boston wins the three-point line again Boston wins the free throw line again and that’s the difference in the ball game and plus the Pacers had some untimely turnovers you’ve got when you’re playing a team that that’s that better than you yeah there there’s no way around it your their five is better than your five you can dig back into the game when you bring your bench in because we know the type of bench that the Pacers possess right but the starting five from the for the Celtics are better than the starting five for the uh Indiana Pacers and you can’t turn the ball over oo uh Miles Turner had five turnovers U you look at the points uh off off a turnover let me go to the team stats right quick I’ll give you that I’m let you chime in uh tell me what you thought uh points off turnover Boston had 20 and they so you’re gonna give them 20 points off your turnovers yeah you’re gonna lose the three-point line uh you lost they got they’re plus 33 from the free uh three-point line they’re plus uh they shot what 12 more free throws they made six more free throws so that’s 39 points that they’re better than you well when throw in and and you got 13 off their turnover so seven so that’s 40 That’s 46 points yeah that you gave up Pacers so I I think it’s GNA be a sweep oo I think this series is over on Monday and Boston is gonna have a a rest uh for an extended period of time for an opportunity to get uh Kristoff bringas back healthy what’ you take from the game tonight oo I mean listen first off the Pacers love run up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down the court yes they only had five threes T night normally you know I for I forgot you might know the quote a little better than me you cut the head off a snake the rest of the body dies yes so I’m thinking well they showed other other than that tonight no no halberton tonight but again everybody else stepped up and played Superior ball they like like you said they LED most of the game and the turnovers is what killed him the turnover man goddamn Nim hard man was phenomenal Miles Turner was phenomenal seaka was F phenomenal the turnover is hurt yep the turnover is hurt but it was a good game I was hoping I was hoping they could they could have held on and won tonight’s game but obviously I think the Celtics were a little bit a little bit just a little bit too much and I mean their starting five is is better the better than the Pacer starting five and with the absence of T Tyler halberton Hal tyres Tyrese halberton it makes it that much more difficult but they played with some heart tonight man and show they they could almost get it done but it’s just not enough I’m sure Pacer fans believe they should be up 2-1 they were in a very similar situation in game one had the game one and they snatched defeat from the jaws of Victory right in the night’s game they’re up they’re up eight points late in the fourth fourth yeah they’re up as many as 18 they’re up by at they’re up by eight in the fourth quarter and turnovers and the mistakes and the defensive assignments leaving guys un un uh uh you leave Al Horford for a wide openen three you see he has the three ball yes he has the three ball going you can’t continously make those St mistakes right it’s the mistakes at the most inopportune times because you can’t say all mistakes are not created equal right when you if I turn the ball over in the first quarter or if I throw a pick in the first quarter I could that’s not the same as a pick to in the game that’s not the same as a pick late in the ball game that’s not the same even though it’s it’s still an interception and it goes on your it goes on you uh against you yeah but they’re not the same turnovers Mis defensive assignments they don’t weigh the same they weigh more according to where we are in the course of the ball game right and that’s uh when I look at it and watch this game very very closely that was the difference in the ball game Jason Tatum had it going tonight uh he had 36 12 of 23 five of 10 he didn’t shoot the free throws very well I know he’s very disappointed about that but he had an outstanding game he was 361 and eight with a steal and two blocks he he must have watched the show he must he must have watched the show because we just talked about Jason Tatum not showing up and Jaylen Brown being the better player throughout not just this series but the playoffs in general and all of a sudden Jason Tatum say hold my beer yeah and came out and showed the hell out tonight yeah JB didn’t play bad he gonna have he gonna have to play that consistently yes especially once you get to this next once you get to this this damn finals yes uh Jaylen Brown had 24 points he was 10 of 18 one of five uh Derek white was three of 11 two of eight five of six from the free throw line holiday was four of 10 he didn’t shoot the three ball well he was perfect from the foul line played outstanding defense when he absolutely needed to Al Horford was the difference in the ball game because time after time he made timely three after timely three after Timely three he’s s of 12 from the three he had 23 points excuse me and Jason Tatum has 36 10 and eight almost a triple double but the difference in the ball game and you look at the Pacers bench you got 23 from McConnell you got a you got a dece from uh so you got 23 25 27 you got 31 points from your bench you outscored them from the bench points 31 to four and that’s how Pacers beat you they they’re able to bring guys off the bench I love TJ McConnell’s game yeah Bo he’s he’s tough he can make big time shots he’s gonna play outstanding defense yes he’s under sized but what he lacks and and and what physical traits he more than makes up with heart and desire and determination but I thought the Pacers had this game I thought they can make this a series uh I don’t think there’s anybody out there with the exception of Boston fans that don’t think the Pacers should be up 2-1 right now Boston fans like nah nah blah you know but I believe they should be up 21 uh and I the think the thing is Ojo when you look at it people are saying Rick Carly should have called a timeout when they got that rebound right he should have called a timeout but I understand why he didn’t because he didn’t want Boston to set up their defense right A lot of times when you call a timeout you’re gonna allow a team to set a defense to you let them regroup Everybody’s Health to Skelter they’re you know all over the place but give holl day credit he’s a strong guy and once he feels you make contact with his lower body he’s going to reach with the Poke yeah and he got it out he made an outstanding play and so uh give him credit for that I don’t have a problem with Carla not calling a timeout maybe Nim hard needed to slow it down but I understand he’s like well they’re H to Skelter dispersed see that that clock that clock that clock running you know how many times had n hard been in that situation where the clock is going down normally the ball in that situation would be in someone else’s hands you hope you hope it been in halton’s hand yeah but think about it Nim hard knows that the clock he’s under the gun from the clock guess who else knows that holiday holiday he knows he’s got to do something suddenly also so now he gets to play like oh you got to make a move here and once you go behind your back well I know you want to go in that direction that’s the reason you put the ball behind your back you no longer want to go in the Direction with your left hand you put it behind your back to try to get to shooting hand well he knows that he reaches in he gets the poke out and he made an outstanding play uh I like I said I don’t know if the Pacers can play any better than what they played tonight I don’t see it oo I don’t see it you got four guys with at least 20 plus points you shoot almost 51% from the floor the only thing is the three ball is killing you you’re five or 22 they’re 20 uh 23% from the three the uh Celtics are 35% but they’re 16 of 46 so that’s a plus 33 from the three-point line and they’re plus six as far as makes from the free throw line yeah plus the 20 points that you get plus the minus seven you were down in the uh uh uh points off turnover I just don’t see how they play any better than what they played tonight Jo the the only thing they can do is get those four individuals that played very well tonight they keep they keep that same momentum going to the next game and then and then be able to hit the threes and eliminate the turnovers and then they’ll be fine well Boston says what happens when we make our threes we only 35% we take more make more than anybody in the NBA this year yeah um yeah it’s tough it’s tough um you lose haly who’s you know the heartbeat of your team he’s the guy that gets it all going he’s supposed to calm you down but we saw what happened to him in game one because what we lawed him for during the regular season he had a couple of gaps in late in game one that ended up costing them the game and in this game here they had a couple of miscues uh blown defensive assignment um turnovers late that ended up costing them the game as well but give the Celtics credit the credit the Celtics go on the road in a very hostile environment and find a way to De cla a victory 114 to 111 and they’re one win away from going to the NBA finals to face the winner of the Mavericks and the uh Timber wol Series so give those guys credit give Boston Credit there’s a reason why they won as many games as they did there’s a reason why they’re the number one overall seed uh they have two guys that make the uh that made the uh the uh allstar game they have a first team all NBA selection and Jason Tatum Derek white is an outstanding because they can switch everything they have out Derek white is an outstanding defensive guard so is holiday a Big Al can play defense we know JT and and and JB can switch everything so congratulations to them on a a very hardfought Victory they go up 3 with a chance to close this thing out on Memorial Day [Music]
