It was almost a beautiful wetting, of the bed that is, or the pants, or, to take a page from my 3-year-old, the couch. A double-digit third quarter lead whittled to 1 after Tyrese Haliburton buried a three after doing the robot for a few seconds. It felt as if the Celtics had wrestled the momentum back from Indy’s furious run with a big Jrue Holiday three, and then that shot went in.
The 4th quarter was predictably back and forth, but ultimately, it felt like the advantage was Indy’s. Andrew Nembhard hit a deep pull-up two with just under 2 minutes left that stretched Indy’s lead to 5.
