A match for strong nerves took place in the early hours of the morning at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, where the Pacers prevailed 133-131 in the final of the Celtics.
The home team, thanks to cool performer Benedict Maturinwho was called for two shots with the score tied at 131-131 with six seconds remaining, were able to take the lead and the pink card.
However, they could not enjoy their success, as Tyrese Halliburton left with a hamstring problem and was carried to the locker room by two of his teammates after he was unable to continue in the match. He will undergo an MRI to determine the exact extent of his injury.
Jaylen Brown scored a season-high 40 points, on 17-of-26 shooting for the Celtics, who were without Jayson Tatum because of a sprained left ankle. Jrue Holiday scored 21 points and Kristaps Porzingis added 19 for Boston.
Maturin had 26 points, while the Pacers had seven players in double figures, led by Aaron Nesmith with 17 points, Mylers Turner with 16 and Buddy Hield with 15.
