Victory against Pacers
Boston Celtics on the verge of reaching the NBA Finals
The Boston Celtics are on the verge of reaching the NBA Finals once again. The record champions also won the third game of the Eastern Conference finals series against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday. They are now just one win away from reaching the final. In the 114:111 (57:69) away win, the Celtics trailed for large parts of the game - by up to 18 points.
It was not until the final minute that Jrue Holiday put the Celtics back in front. He then managed to win the ball with three seconds left before Holiday scored the last points of the game with two free throws. Boston's Jayson Tatum was the outstanding player with 36 points, ten rebounds and eight assists.
Haliburton sorely missed
The Pacers, who had previously won all their home games in this year's play-offs, put in a strong performance, but missed their injured star player Tyrese Haliburton, especially in the final phase. They now face the task of becoming the first team in NBA history to win a series after trailing 3-0. That has never happened in the 154 times a team has lost the first three games of a series.
