Sucks to be the Pacers and their fans tonight. They stopped making shots and the Celtics bench mob just completely locked them up.

I was about to turn off my tv in the 3rd, but instead this turned into one of the most fun games of the season

What a second half.  And a 4th quarter.

27-9 quarter.  The game is almost over and Indy has only scored 30 points in the 2nd half.  Their 3 ball really dried up.  What were they in the 2nd half, 1 for 20 from 3?

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

I have to watch the whole game, I only got to see the fourth quarterbut it looks like they dug themselves into a hole in the first half and it required considerable effort and execution, and a little bit of luck, to dig themselves back out, but they were able to do it. 

TPs for all!
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Bench crew got it done, and the starters got the message.  The defensive intensity was so much better once the bench came in, then the starters came back in and sustained it.  Good move and message by Joe.  The starters did not come out ready to play in the 3rd.

Nice comeback win. Hugo is for real. Is Luka? Well - nice work by Luka tonight. Great bench night.

Pacers were cost a point on a three (I think) when they were down 89-86. Hit a three (at least I thought so) and only got to 88.  I didn?t see it corrected. Didn?t matter but thought it might.

Hugo is one of those guys who is going to be underrated nationally because he doesn't score a bunch of points. But if you actually watch the game, he is such a positively impactful player.

He is one helluva rebounder....we have a real winner with the kid.
