The Boston Celtics
Team Preview
This Boston squad has been more then impressive the season and it wouldn’t surprise anybody if they won the championship this year. Some say they might’ve had an easy road to this point, but they continue to prove that they’re just simply a good team.
The Boston Celtics are now just one win away from advancing to the NBA Finals after outlasting the Pacers in a thrilling 114-111 comeback win in Game 3 on Saturday.
Jayson Tatum led the team with 36 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, Jaylen Brown added 24 points, Al Horford tallied 23 points with three blocks while Derrick White chipped in with 13 points, seven assists and four blocks.
As a team, the Celtics shot 47 percent from the field and 16 of 46 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in deep trouble when they blew an early nine-point lead to fall behind by as many as 18 points, before they rallied to win the game in the final seconds.
In fact, the Celtics trailed by eight points late in the fourth quarter before they closed the final 2:24 on a 13-2 run to escape with the crucial win!

The Indiana Pacers
Team Preview
The pieces have also been pretty impressive to make it this far in the postseason not many people expected them to make a run the way they did, but here they are playing competitive basketball and shock in the world but we know the Pacers will be absolutely kicking themselves after failing to close out the game for the second time in this series.
Andrew Nembhard led the team with 32 points and nine assists in place of the injured Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner scored 22 points each while TJ McConnell chipped in with 23 points, nine rebounds and six assists off the bench.
As a team, the Pacers shot 50 percent from the field and just five of 22 from the 3-point line as they exploded for 38 points in the second quarter to lead by as many as 18 points, but they couldn't find their offense when it mattered most as they scored just two points in the final 2:37 to allow the Celtics off the hook in the end.
The Celtics Vs Pacers Game Prediction
The Plugs Pick: Indiana +7.5 -110
We know that the Celtics could be Without Jrue Holiday and Luke Kornet for this game, as they are both listed as questionable. The Pacers are keeping a close watch on Tyrese Haliburton, who is still dealing with that hamstring injury. The Celtics are obviously in full control of this series. They now lead the series 3-0, but the Pacers could easily be leading 2-1 if they could just simply figure out how to close out games. The Pacers were underdogs with or without Haliburton sitting out, but to be fair, they actually played great basketball and were definitely the better team for most of the game. With that being said, the Celtics clearly have the depth of the two and it really showed in the end of all the games this series. Boston just has too many weapons going off down the stretch and their defense has been showing up in the clutch moments. Like is said last week on TSPP, I do see the Celtics winning all these games and tonight they will be booking their tickets to the NBA Finals, but the Pacers are going to throw everything they have in this one, and I think they can at least keep it close at the end and give us a cover tonight!
