Celts, Irving squeak by Pacers, win 114-112

It couldn't have been much closer, but a late-game Kyrie Irving bucket bailed the Boston Celtics out and secured at least a shot at the fourth seed in the postseason with a 114-112 win over the Indiana Pacers.

Given the near photo-finish between Boston and the team (Indiana) they will most likely face in the first round of the 2019 NBA Playoffs, it may be more important than some of us wanted to believe that Boston comes away with the win, and for once this month, that's not a knock on the Celtics, who have reverted to their maddeningly inconsistent ways for much of March.
