INDIANAPOLIS — This time, staying in the corner was the right call.
Late in the fourth quarter, Derrick White stood patiently as Jaylen Brown used a screen from Jrue Holiday to drive into the paint. Four Indiana defenders converged on Brown in the middle, leaving White wide open for the go-ahead 3-point attempt with 45 seconds to go.
White nailed the shot, clinching a 105-102 victory over the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals.
On the anniversary of his last-second tip-in against the Heat, White hit the bucket that cemented a series sweep over Indiana and sent the Celtics back to the NBA Finals for the second time in three years.
