The game is the classic tale of two halves that we have written so many times and you are as exhausted from reading as you are from reliving. The first half of the Boston Celtics was good, with a superb second quarter from Jayson Tatum who took over the green offense to take a 55-49 lead at halftime.

But then, the second half was a terrifying ghost tale with a famished Celtics showing no momentum or courage in the third quarter. A 12-0 streak to start the quarter that ended up being unleashed about 17 points behind in a scary quarter. Again, the Celtics did their best to lose the game and that’s how it ended.

Still, the Celtics had a chance to win the game after a couple of sequences that included a steal and a foul for additional points to Domantas Sabonis both committed by Robert Williams, but the Tatum’s shot went wide when he could have attacked the rim and with it, the victory went to the Pacers 108-107.
