The Boston Celtics found themselves facing an Indiana Pacers squad in the NBA’s in-season tournament quarterfinals that came to play, and from the game’s opening tip, Indiana made the Celtics run. And run Boston did, seemingly on their heels even when holding a lead, turning over the ball 18 times to Indiana’s 6, while shooting just 29.3% from deep.
That the Celtics were even in it at the end is a minor miracle in itself, with the hungry Pacers roster coming to life as victory came into view late in the game. The final blow that likely put the tilt out of reach for the Celtics fittingly a dunk by former Boston forward Aaron Nesmith. Now, Indiana is headed to Las Vegas while Boston heads home to lick their wounds.
Let’s take a look at some of the best moments captured in images in the Celtics’ 20th game of the 2023-24 NBA season vs. the Indiana Pacers.
