Game/Series Notes
• With tonight’s performance, Jayson Tatum has now surpassed 2,500+ PTS, 500+ AST, and 250+ 3PM in his Playoff career. Tatum is the second-fastest player to reach those totals in terms of games played in NBA history. Only Stephen Curry reached those marks in less games:
o Stephen Curry (97 games)
o Jayson Tatum (107 games)
o James Harden (112 games)
o Kevin Durant (127 games)
• Indiana’s Pascal Siakam has now scored 20 or more points in six consecutive Playoff games; he joins Reggie Miller (3x) and Paul George (2x) as the only players in franchise history to have such a streak.
• The Pacers had four players with 20 or more points in tonight’s game (Nembhard, McConnell, Siakam, and Turner) v the Celtics, marking just the second time in their franchise history they did this in the Playoffs. The other instance came on May 5, 1991, in Game 5 of the First Round, also against the Boston Celtics, which they lost 124-121.
o Reggie Miller, Chuck Person, Detlef Schrempf, and Micheal Williams were the four Pacers to score 20+.

Pacers and Timberwolves are done.
👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They really ran a rub route w McDermott and nesmith 😂
Jrue!
Celtics in 5
How silly that pacers coach didn't call a timeout when you could that indiana had no clue what to do during last four seconds of the game. What a joke. The NBA has sold out and McConnell needs to get another job because his defense makes it look so obvious. I wonder what the point spread was in this game? I'm assuming that Indiana was a three point underdog.
From the JB Throw down, to JT’s behind the back, Big AL with 7 3’s and JRUE with the steal hell of a fight
fantastico 🎉
never say die
Jayson Tater
