Game Preview
On Monday, December 4th, the Boston Celtics (15-4) take on the Indiana Pacers (10-8) during the quarterfinals of the in-season competition. Star center Kristaps Porzingis will not be playing for Boston since he is still recovering from a calf injury he suffered versus the Orlando Magic in the latter part of November. In order to increase their prospects of defending the Eastern Conference at the in-season tournament finals, both squads will want to advance to the semi-finals by winning here.
The Indiana Pacers have been playing well; they have split their last ten games. They will be looking to gain some confidence after defeating the Heat 144-129 on the road on Saturday. Obi Toppin tallied 22 points on 7 of 8 shots, Aaron Nesmith and TJ McConnell each scored 20 points, and Bruce Brown led the club with 30 points from 11 of 16 shooting. The Pacers outscored the undermanned Heat in their finest offensive effort of the season, scoring 40 points during the second period and another 41 in the third. As a unit, they shot a scorching 65% from the floor as well as 16 of 32 from 3-point range. Andrew Nembhard’s 4 points on a single attempt of 9 shooting constituted the only miscue in the victory.
After defeating the 76ers 125-119 on Friday, the Boston Celtics continue to be playing well; they have prevailed in 10 of their last 12 matches overall. They will be aiming for their 4th consecutive win. With 21 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists on 6 of 9 shots, Jayson Tatum paced the squad. Derrick White followed with 21 points and 5 assists, and Al Horford as well as Jaylen Brown each contributed 20 points. The Celtics set the mood early with 44 points during the initial period to take the lead, shooting 50% from the floor as well as 16 of 33 from three. However, they were unable to overcome the 76ers before they capped the last 2:09 with an 8-3 run to win by a small margin.
