The Indiana Pacers had no answers for Kemba Walker on Wednesday night. Boston’s jitterbug point guard poured in 44 points on 16-of-27 shooting. Walker used a quickness advantage to consistently break down Malcolm Brogdon off the dribble, scooting past Indiana’s scrambling bigs behind him for crafty finishes by the basket. When he wasn’t headed to the rack, the Celtics’ star could be found cashing in step back jumpers and knocking in catch-and-shoot threes.
Jaylen Brown chipped in 18 points in support, as well as a career-high 8 assists, not to mention a beautiful 360 transition dunk.
