The Boston Celtics defeated the Indiana Pacers 133-128, to take a 1-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 36 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists while Jrue Holiday (28 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists) and Jaylen Brown (26 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists) totaled 54 points. Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers with 25 points and 10 assists as Pascal Siakam (24 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists) and Myles Turner (23 points, 10 rebounds) added 47 points. Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals will take place on Thursday, May 23 (8:00 p.m. ET, ESPN).
This is the first time in Boston’s franchise history where three players totaled 25+ points in a Conference Finals game. Since the 1970-71 season (first season with Eastern and Western conferences), it’s just the ninth time it’s happened in a Conference Finals game ever.
Jayson Tatum – 36 PTS, 12 REB, 4 AST
Jrue Holiday – 28 PTS, 7 REB, 8 AST
Jaylen Brown – 26 PTS, 7 REB, 5 AST
Pascal Siakam joined Paul George as the only players in Pacers history with 25+ PTS, 10+ REB, and 5+ AST in a Conference Finals game. George did so on May 30, 2013, in a loss v the Miami Heat (27 PTS, 11 REB, 5 AST).

These celtics softies managed to barely scrape through because they got 20 more free throws and the pacers had more turnovers towards the end. Even if these Celtics bums somehow make it to the finals they are going to get stomped.
I'll suprise u right here…Celtics win the series
refs had a huge part of this game, pacers got 10 freethrows while celtics had 30, fuck that
Boy the pacers can keep up this going be a good series
Absolutely TERRIBLE shot at the end of regulation.. Very selfish play & cost them the game.
Klay Thompson needs to go to the Pacers, heard it here first 🍺
As good as the Celtics are, the Pacers are better. They will win the series!
You are unable to include Celtics highlights because you clearly hate the Celtics
+20 free throws and letting brown foul 2 times in last min… rigged league
pacers cooked up a nice play at the end of the game
Indiana bungled this but I also want to point out the huge discrepancy in FTAs – 30 for Boston and 10 for Indiana … just saying
This going to be a good matchup!!. Pacers know what to do now but I wanna see Celtics win it all.
As a Celtics fan the crowd chanting MVP for Tatum and not brown is Criminal. Honestly Brown has consistently bailed us out over the years in the playoffs because when brown is off Tatum will shrink sometimes in the 4th we need both of them to he consistently on or one or the other but both can’t be off because that’s when what happened to us with the Warriors happens.
If I have to pic Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum, I'll choose the clutch one which is Brown Tatum looking like a second option and always flustered in the final minutes
30 – 10 freethrows. I'm not salty but come on man, x3 in FT differential is crazy.
Clap clap ref
No Porzingis, The Pacers can win this series.
OT in Boston 😢
I think pacers will win the series.🙂
Hali you gotta take that shot bro‼️
All Indy had to do was not turn the ball over and the game was their's. What a colossal choke job.
Haliburton should pass the ball, instead of having a three why would he not try to pass it to make a 2 point shot with his teammates, selfish play
Pacers in 7 baby this is our year!
NBA IS RIGGED, COOKING SHOW BY THE REF.
What happened to the Denver Nuggets 😂
The NBA has no face of the league after LBJ.😂😂
Never woulda thought this could be a series
this playoff season has been insane despite what casuals have been saying
