The Pacers came very close to the feat on Tuesday evening during the first game of the Eastern Conference final in the NBA play-offs, but ultimately suffered a narrow defeat 133-128 after overtime on the floor of the Celtics. Boston.
It was Jaylen Brown who saved his team, hitting a three-point shot 6 seconds from the end of the match to tie the score at 117-117 and snatch overtime.
His teammate Jayson Tatum then took charge, finishing the game with 36 points (including 10 in overtime) and 12 rebounds.
The Pacers, who had to work hard several times to catch up throughout the evening, may regret having stupidly lost vital balls at the very end of the game when they had the match in hand. Tyrese Haliburton scored 25 points and distributed 10 assists, Pascal Siakam finished with 24 points, 7 assists and 12 rebounds.
Game N.2 of this conference final played in the best of 7 games will take place in Boston on Thursday evening.
