Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers Game 2 Full Highlights 1st QTR | May 23 | 2024 NBA East Finals

up with Al Horford well I look at it this way Miles Turner really hurt them in game one particularly in that first half and he did a nice job of he said it’s one thing to watch them on film it’s another to see it in person between the pace that Indiana plays with and the ball movement he goes they were flying by us I mean the challenge with Indiana is it’s not necessarily just that they play fast they make fast decisions so you have to guard multiple actions you lose a guy for one second he gets an open three or a basket that’s how they play who continues his Stellar defensive work throughout these playoffs here’s halberton six on the 24 Alberton finds some room kicks it out Nim hard good luck for three B knocked out of bound against Indiana white chasing halberton n Smith nice fake finds a spot two-point shot is good n Smith also in double figures besides that Stellar defense played very well against Jason Tatum in game one Tatum did wind up with 36 Brown step back Turner hand in the face Brown comes up short white another offensive rebound for goes right at seak and Bs it home acers look to push even on the make Herer wants it he was down low tatums on him halberton back up top n Smith the fine jumper he’s got a couple of two-pointers down let’s remember this young man started his career he takes special Relish in the fact that he wants to play well against his former team but the chipy given up quick well with both these teams on a maid basket you have to make a concerted effort to get back and at least try to set your defense reaching foul on BR Boston gets to the free throw line a lot Pacers down at the very bottom have not been a team that shoots a lot of free throws All Season already had eight lead changes and we haven’t even played four minutes Tatum good looking jumper [Music] [Applause] holiday on halberton a step back three-pointer got it halberton had six threes in game one six of 14 at 25 points total and he’s just so good at creating separation off the bounce to shoot that step back three and Doris this is where they had a lot of success in game one that halberton holiday matchup Drew had the most points he’s had in any game this season show you it out loud he does travel some times on that step back that was not a travel Nim hard Catch Fire and hit keep saying it every game he is not afraid of the big lights simart is really impressed during this postseason on the drive Al Horford easy bucket there for Boston [Applause] zakum was a good distributor as well addition to Leading them in scoring and the rebounds and an offensive foul it’s going to go against Turner and Jaylen Brown is shaking 2010 that’s a hard foul and it’s a possible flagrant in today’s NBA does JJ know who Sam Malone is oh you know what I keep forgetting how young he is he didn’t know we have to explain this all the time who pregame meeting with Rick carine I had no idea who Benny Hill was you have a lot to learn about television and had nothing to do with Sports Indiana up by one DJ McConnell Obi toppen Ben Shepard Allin early for the [Music] Pacers Alberton mcconell foul line jumper got it wow small small pick and roll and TJ he is just so sound in that in between area 8 to 15 ft look out Richards also in Luke forette for the Celtics nice side step Tatum has a good look can’t get it the fall and look at the hustle from Derek white come up with another offensive rebound for the Celtics white the floater that [Applause] misses halber up top to Turner Turner kicks it out in the corner and they’re going to running their Zone a little early they waited to the second half to run Zone the other night and Obi toen who has been spectacular Off the Bench for the Indiana Pacers with a beautiful drive takes the right angle on that finish at the basket Richard finds Tatum Tatum another good clean look nobody near him won’t go down rebound Brown double clutch can’t get it Jackson played it well and a loose ball [Applause] foul that’s what happened so two fouls on Brown two fouls on Turner two key players a couple of personals early Albert is going to sit E Smith will come in and if you’re the Pacers you have to have better Awareness on those Corner a couple buckets cutting along the Baseline as well toen McConnell Howers also come on TJ McConnell knocks down the three McConnell just five of 20 in the playoffs from three-point range and that puts Pacers up six you can see the Celtics have no interest in guarding him because he usually has very little interest in shooting it but you get that kind of space and even though it takes him time to load to that shot he’s got all the time in the world Tatum goes back door leans in offensive foul he can make that shot he’s making everything else drives to the basket shots in the Paint n Smith Corner three-pointer cornette pulls down the rebound against cornette playing important important minutes until christops porzingis comes back from that calf injury Pritchard knocks down the three this Pacer team they’re different from the one that even started the playoffs their confidence and belief just keeps Rising I think the key moment in their season was the loss in the inseason tournament to the Lakers where they realized collectively defense matters and I think this process of going down 02 100% you walked into Madison Square Garden in incredible difficult environment and you came out a different basketball team JJ and well the other thing I’d add is we’ve seen Tyrese halberton return to form from the player we saw at the beginning of the year when he was quite simply one of the best basketball today led the NBA in assis per game McConnell halberton comes right back to get it knocks down the shot has only taken two shots so far and both of them gone in [Music] good defense from Shephard pitchard looking to get at the Holiday there’s the double team with his movement and here they go again with a shooting percentage as cornette throws it out they’re 10 of 15 they’re shooting 67% last three games 53% 67 the record and 54% it’s incredible against some pretty impressive defenses how well they’ve shot the ball but conell back up top Obi toppen little fancy pass to halberton shot clock winding down Mell has to get it off does does not get the bounce and Hower tips it
