The Boston Celtics pulled off a heart-stopping 114-111 victory against the Indiana Pacers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday – and this is how you close out a game. 🚨
Despite missing star guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring injury), the Pacers erupted early, shooting a sizzling 64.6% in the first half and leading by 18 points in the third quarter. But the Celtics, like a TikTok trend you can’t escape, came roaring back. 💪
Andrew Nembhard dropped a career-high 32 points and 9 assists for Indiana, even draining 4 clutch three-pointers. But with 10 seconds left and trailing 112-111, his drive to the basket ended in a critical turnover to Jrue Holiday. ⏰ ‘That’s Celtics basketball,’ fans tweeted post-game. ‘They never quit.’
