Down 16 I wasn't even stressed. People are seeing what the Pacers have done in the playoffs with comebacks, but it didn't start there.

They've been doing this for months. They. Never. Stop.

Ever.

Nesmith the real MVP of this game, he went full nuclear at the end of the 4th.

Nesmith was such an underrated get by the Pacers. Celtics never gave him the minutes he needed to develop. He's deserving of even more with the Pacers tbh. Legit one of the best contracts in basketball

This is the sort of choke that defines a series and will never be forgotten. Not only do the Knicks lose the series now, this may start another 2 decades of mediocrity. (ok maybe that's hyperbole but damn what a choke)

OKC kills both these teams.

Celtics fans knew this was coming. I don't know how to possibly explain the pacers.

Great win. They'll take the series. NY doesn't belong here
