Jaylen with big defensive stops and the three. Jrue stout on defense. Tatum with a big three in OT and making every free throws. We are just unbeatable in the clutch.

Indiana's best player was Payton Pritchard, he got scored on directly and indirectly. Time where we could have pulled away, the pacers stayed close. Most of Turners and Toppins points in H1 came off scrambling to help on a pritchard mismatch.

The Plus Minus in this case very much aligns with the eye test.

Why are people blaming Joe when Tatum should have…you know…not fouled? I get the logic, don’t let them shoot 3s. It’s whatever.

Celtics came through when they needed it most. Great win.

Those Pritchard, Kornet, and Hauser lineups are the stuff of nightmares. Mazzulla should be fired just for running it out there.

came to check whether today's winning coach that has led you to back to back ECF was getting hated on and yep. Poor guy. These are character building type games. Congrats on the big win. Should be a gentlemen's sweep (so owners can make millions off a Game 5 back in Boston) at worse.

Tatum needs more credit for that win.

Jrue was outstanding (again). JB with some massive plays in clutch time.

Just a bit sloppy in our ball security at times. Too many loose turnovers.

The Pacers can't play much better than that, but the better team won the night won.

KP. One of the great intellects of the modern age.

If you then took the bird's brain and put it in the body of an ESPN analyst you'd get Kendrick Perkins.

What a game. Brown with the forced turnover then the tying three. Tatum with the overtime scoring.

Celtics pull out a game they honestly should have lost.

I will say, Indiana does present some challenges. I'm still confident the C's will win this series but think it may be harder than i initially thought. But we'll see if Indiana can repeat their mid-range shooting performance.
