Recap: Celtics stave off Pacer comeback

Looking for a sweep on their three-game road trip, the Boston Celtics face off against a shorthanded Indiana Pacers squad without key guards Rodney Stuckey and Monta Ellis. Not the sexiest of matchups, or jerseys in Indiana’s case, but Paul George and co. made it interesting.

THE GAME FLOW

The C’s came out the gate on fire with beautiful team ball movement with a quick 9-2 run to start the game. The offense was flowing, they were getting out in transition, all signs pointed to the beginning of a blowout until Indy’ three-headed monster of George/Turner/Teague combined for 25 of the team’s 32 points to get them back in the game.
