On February 28, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, and the Celtics challenged the Pacers away. The Celtics have been on the rise recently, while the Pacers are already in the process of rebuilding. In this battle, the Celtics had the upper hand as soon as they came up, but after the Pacers frantically counterattacked, the Green Army could only rely on Tatum and Brown, and the point difference was gradually widened; the Pacers in the last quarter were still hot, and the point difference was directly opened by more than 20 points, and the game lost suspense. In the end, the Pacers beat the Celtics 128-107 at home, breaking a cold score.
The Celtics are still fully playing in this game, and the Pacers are still missing many people. But this time the Pacers felt hot at home, only in the first quarter, and then they took control of the situation in their own hands and did not give the opponent too many opportunities to fight back. Whenever the Celtics get on the rise, someone always comes forward, and the Pacers shoot 17 of 33 from three-point range in the game, shooting 51.5 percent from the field, while the Celtics shot just 42.9 percent from the field.
In this campaign, the Pacers blossomed more points, and the whole team scored as high as 7 people in double figures, of which the combination of Halliburton + Brogdon + Hield + Brisette scored more than 20+, and the combined blast scored 90 points, which is the key to the team's upset victory. Brisseter became a Wizard, scoring a team-high 27 points on 6-of-9 shooting; Halliburton had 22 points and nine assists, which was really a white pick for a future team core; Hield had 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and Brogdon had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. In addition, Jackson had 11 points, Smith on the bench had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Duarte had 11 points.
In the face of the Pacers' multi-point blossoming, the Celtics failed to resist this time, did not continue the recent hot state, and were somewhat tired. The All-Star has played 3 games, and this one is still back-to-back, and after playing the Pistons, they fly to Indiana. In fact, this time the Celtics also have 6 people to score in double figures, but the team's core Tatum is not in good shape.
Tatum played 34 minutes, shooting 7-of-22 and 2-of-12 three-pointers, with 24 points, five rebounds and three assists, a team-low -24 plus-minus. The other core Brown played well, with 23 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists on 10-of-16; other players scored the highest-scoring Points by Prigard 14 points, Smart 13 points, White 11 points and Williams 10 points and 11 rebounds.
