Jaylen Brown kept the Celtics offense afloat as he and Jayson Tatum each dropped in 30+ points, pushing Boston to a tough win over a testy Pacers team, 128-123.
Brown scored 32 with seven assists, Tatum scored a less-efficient 31 and all five Celtics starters scored in double-figures as Boston kept in the East’s top-3 on Friday night.
Sixth man Derrick White was also in double figures for the C’s, scoring 13 with 8/8 free throws. Al Horford had himself a night, as the big man finished with 17 points, 10 rebounds and six assists.
