With the sour taste of Sunday night’s 108-107 loss to the Indiana Pacers still lingering in their mouths, the Boston Celtics entered Tuesday night’s rematch at Bankers Life Field House hungry for redemption. The road on which they traveled to reach their goal wasn’t pretty, but the end result came in the sweetest of fashions.
The Celtics trailed Indiana by 17 points with just under three minutes remaining in the third quarter, before suddenly turning a corner on both ends of the court. Led by the 22-year-old tandem of veteran Jayson Tatum and rookie Payton Pritchard, the Celtics turned an 88-71 deficit into a 109-100 lead, before eventually walking away with a 116-111 victory.
But the script flipped from there, as the Celtics opened the frame with 11 unanswered points, tying the game on Jayson Tatum s layup less than three minutes into the fourth quarter.
The visitors then took the lead on Tatum s jumper with 7:29 remaining. Indiana tied the game at 100 on Justin Holiday s layup with 6:45 to play, but Boston scored the next nine points. To make matters worse, Indiana lost Warren for the night when he picked up his sixth foul with 4:11 left. You can t let your guard down for a second, Pacers head coach Nate Bjorkgren said. They came out and went bang, bang, bang, had three or four buckets in a row there. We started standing a little bit on offense, but it wasn t due to the lack of effort of our guys.
