The Celtics’ road to Las Vegas ended on Monday night in Indianapolis, with Boston falling to the Pacers, 122-112, in the knockout round of the NBA’s inaugural in-season tournament.
The Celtics have now been eliminated from the tournament, with Boston now set to host a regular-season game against either the Knicks or Bucks on Friday night. Their opponent will be determined by whoever wins the knockout match between New York and Milwaukee on Tuesday.
With the win, the Pacers advance to the semifinals of the in-season tournament, where they will take on the winner of Knicks/Bucks on Thursday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
