Today we're going to talk about the NBA regular season game that caused quite a stir among basketball fans - the Boston Celtics vs. Indiana Pacers. Let's start with the performance of the players. Jayson Tatum is such a fighter on the court that he scored 38 points on his own, along with those 14 rebounds and six assists. This data, I have to say, is really staggering. I remember a couple of layups and breakaways in the game, and it was a nightmare for the opponent, and every time he got the ball, the opposing defender's face became like hell.
Let's talk about Mathurin of the Pacers, although they lost, Mathurin's 20 points were not for nothing, and those 4 rebounds and 2 assists should not be underestimated. In particular, his shooting from beyond the three-point line caused a scream from the audience every time he made a shot.
When it comes to the scoreline, it was a game of twists and turns. At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics led 29-17. At this time, I guess the Pacers fans were in a hurry, but what they didn't expect was that in the next second quarter, the Pacers seemed to change teams, and the score was 27-34. Of course, the Celtics were not vegetarians either, and they quickly adjusted back and the point gap was widened again. By the third quarter, Haliburton of the Pacers seemed to find his senses, scoring 12 points in that quarter, including two three-point attempts. However, the Celtics still took a narrow lead of 84-81 and entered the final quarter of the decisive victory.
In the final quarter, I have to say that the Celtics really pulled out their strength, and a wave of offense stretched the margin to 19 points. Although the Pacers struggled to chase the points late in the quarter, they ultimately lost 101-118.
As for the starting lineup, the Celtics fielded Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday , Derrick White and Kristaps Porzingis. On the Pacers' side, Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield, Myles Turner, Allen Nesmith and Jalen Smith started the game. These two sets of lineups, you say who is strong and who is weak, it's really hard to say, everyone has their own shining point.
Finally, let's make a controversial summary. Personally, I think that although the Celtics won this game beautifully, the Pacers' comeback also proved that they are not soft persimmons. What do you think? Do you also think that the Pacers showed indomitable spirit in this game? Share your thoughts in the comment section, and don't forget to pay attention to the next NBA game updates!
