It was messy, but Boston delivered a professional performance to gain an important win.<\/p>\n<p id=\"xgNRAa\">With seven minutes left in the first, Kristaps Porzingis went down with an eye injury after former Celtic Aaron Nesmith hit him in the face. The score was 8-5 Boston.<\/p>\n<p id=\"fRbXNo\">Porzingis returned less than three minutes later, for roughly thirty seconds. He didn\u2019t return after that. His injury seemed to energize the squad, turning a brutal shooting start into a 21-12 run to close the quarter at 29-17. <\/p>\n<p id=\"iSvyH3\">Jaylen Brown seemed to figure something out towards the end of the first, going at Indiana Point guard Tyrese Haliburton repeatedly. He had 8 points in the first, on 4-8 shooting. <\/p>\n<p id=\"ZgsLUT\">Brown ended up with 38 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist, and break-out star Haliburton had 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists.<\/p>\n<div id=\"5zKEN7\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The rule is DON&#8217;T jump with JB   <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/D07jJ6FELM\">pic.twitter.com\/D07jJ6FELM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Boston Celtics (@celtics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/celtics\/status\/1743788233169723872?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 7, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"4voz5C\">All the calls were going the Pacers way in the second, and if it weren\u2019t for Jayson Tatum heroics, the handsy Pacers would have closed the gap quickly. Tatum had multiple pull-up threes, a shot he\u2019s been awesome at in the last few games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"w0l7d0\">Tatum struggled to get to the line in the first half, and officials thought it better to reward established superstars like Benedict Mathurin, who shot six free throws in the first half. <\/p>\n<p id=\"ANGJfv\">Boston had no attempts at the line at the midway point, to match Indiana\u2019s 13.<\/p>\n<p id=\"BpbljM\">Twelve first-half turnovers from Boston didn\u2019t help either.<\/p>\n<p id=\"QjNYM0\">Regardless, Boston led 58-49 at the half, behind Tatum\u2019s 20 points and Brown\u2019s 17. <\/p>\n<p id=\"kgivpf\">Brown and Tatum\u2019s first-half performances matched that of half-time performers, the Roll City Circus: they looked strong, poised, and talented during their act, but were not \u2013 by any means \u2013 showmen. It was an ugly half. <\/p>\n<p id=\"j057RY\">The game was looking a lot more like Boston\u2019s loss to Indiana in the In-Season Tournament than their blowout win over the Pacers earlier in the season. <\/p>\n<p id=\"tsC2t1\">Eight free throws clanked out for Boston in the third quarter, in case you needed another indication that it wasn\u2019t the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.celticsblog.com\/\">Celtics<\/a>\u2019 night. The only player to complete both free throws at a trip to the line was Luke Kornet, who almost lost his shots after Sam Hauser stepped to the line in his place. <\/p>\n<p id=\"HiKCnG\">Buddy Hield splashed a three to help decrease Boston\u2019s lead at the end of the third, and you could almost hear Indiana\u2019s home fans through the sea of green in Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Boston led 84-81 going into the final act.<\/p>\n<p id=\"KBoyxV\">A 14-4 run by the Celtics was capped by an incredible play from Jayson Tatum, which started with a sweet behind-the-back pass. Unfortunately, the refs called a foul on the floor, robbing the shot and the free throws in one of the worst review decisions I\u2019ve ever seen. So, Tatum turned it into a 16-4 run, scoring six straight on his own. He was truly special in this quarter, scoring from everywhere and making elite reads. <\/p>\n<div id=\"r0BH3y\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Now this is crazy   <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/amTIYzO2mV\">pic.twitter.com\/amTIYzO2mV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Boston Celtics (@celtics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/celtics\/status\/1743818074275348661?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 7, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"DNiWz6\">Tatum finished with 38 points, 14 rebounds, and 6 assists. He was 8-13 on threes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"rsOTrw\">This Pacers team has shown that they can anger the Celtics like almost no other. Aaron Nesmith is a consistent force of nature, even if he isn\u2019t always a force of good basketball (8 points on 0-7 shooting from three tonight). And Haliburton is one of the best players in the NBA. He\u2019s having a historically great season, averaging more points (24) than any other player with 12+ assists per game in NBA history.<\/p>\n<p id=\"43RudP\">The Celtics come away with a solid win over a good team, despite missing 9 free throws and turning the ball over 17 times. Their record against the Pacers improves to 2-1 on the season. Even when the Pacers put together a good stretch, it felt like The Celtics remained in control of the game. The Pacers scored their fewest points in any game all season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"enHunN\">Shoutout to Al Horford, who led the game with 8 assists \u2013 adding to his 10 points and 7 rebounds.<\/p>\n<p id=\"uzoUaG\">The Celtics will remain in Indiana until their Monday night matchup vs. the Pacers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5y3Z6H\">\n<p id=\"YrW7ou\">\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>        Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n<p>  Boston wins the first of two consecutive matchups in Indianapolis.
