The Celtics protected home court for the second straight game in the Eastern Conference Finals, downing the Pacers in Game 2 at TD Garden on Thursday night.
Jaylen Brown took over the contest, finishing with 40 points on 14-of-27 shooting from the field. Whether he was fueled by an All-NBA snub, the crowd's energy or the opportunity to take a 2-0 lead, Brown clearly established himself as the best player on the floor.
Tyrese Haliburton was forced to leave in the third quarter after dealing with left hamstring soreness. That injury knocked him out of 10 games in January, so the Pacers may be without their best player heading into a must-win situation.
Can Indiana find a spark? Or will Boston continue its impressive run through the East playoff bracket?
