Jaylen Brown (12 points) returned to the lineup Saturday night as the Boston Celtics fell to the Indiana Pacers 103-99 despite Marcus Morris’ 23 points. Victor Oladipo dropped 24 points and 12 rebounds and the game-winning shot.
The game started out with a lot of 3-pointers. Coming off of a franchise-record 24 3-pointers in Thursday night’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Boston came out of the gate looking to recreate the magic.
That didn’t happen, and the Pacers jumped out to a 7-0 lead. Despite a sloppy start, the Celtics pulled it together and this really turned into a showdown between two of the better teams in the Eastern Conference.
