Celtics Edge Pacers 114-111 in Game 3, Move to Brink of NBA Finals

In a nail-biting Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Boston Celtics edged out the Indiana Pacers 114-111 on Saturday night in Indianapolis, taking a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. This victory puts the Celtics on the cusp of advancing to the NBA Finals.

Jayson Tatum delivered a stellar performance, contributing 36 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists. Tatum’s all-around game was instrumental in maintaining Boston’s lead throughout the contest. Al Horford also played a crucial role, scoring 23 points and hitting a career-high seven 3-pointers, while Jaylen Brown added 24 points.

Jrue Holiday, despite battling an illness that left his participation uncertain until just before tip-off, was pivotal in securing the win. Holiday finished with 14 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 steals. His critical steal and subsequent game-winning three-point play in the closing moments were decisive.

The Pacers fought valiantly despite recent postseason struggles at home. Andrew Nembhard shone with a career-high 32 points and 9 assists. T.J. McConnell contributed 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists, while Myles Turner and Pascal Siakam each scored 22 points. The absence of All-NBA Third Team selection Tyrese Haliburton, sidelined by a left hamstring injury, was keenly felt by Indiana.

Boston’s efficient shooting was key, as they shot 47% from the field and made 16 of their 46 three-point attempts. Derrick White added 13 points to round out the Celtics’ balanced offensive attack. Conversely, the Pacers’ shooting faltered in the second half, hitting only 38.3% overall and a dismal 5 of 22 from three-point range.

With this win, the Celtics are now one step away from a clean sweep in the series and a spot in the NBA Finals. The Pacers must regroup and find a way to extend the series in the next game, facing a daunting challenge against a dominant Boston team.
