the Pacers narrowly beat the Celtics 117-112 away.
In this game, the Pacers had a huge 30-point lead at the top of the first half, but after the change, the Greens launched a crazy counterattack and nearly reversed it.
“We naturally knew that they would go all out to play a fierce attack in the second half, and obviously they did,” Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said after the game. “I’m really proud of the struggle we made today in difficult times. We found a way to play defensively and put the ball into the basket.”
