INDIANAPOLIS — If Al Horford and Kyrie Irving combine to shoot 25 percent from the field, it’s usually safe to presume things aren’t going too well for the Celtics.
But Sunday afternoon at Bankers Life Fieldhouse was a different story.
Horford and Irving struggled mightily from the floor, knocking down only eight of their 32 field goal attempts in Game 4 of Boston’s first-round Eastern Conference playoff series against the Indiana Pacers. The Celtics’ bench, however, picked up the slack, scoring a combined 49 points on 69.2 percent shooting en route to a 110-106 victory and the franchise’s first playoff sweep since 2011.
