Post-Game Grades: Pacers Give Celtics a Late Christmas Present, Fall in the 4th

The Good: The Pacers looked like they might just roll over after an early lead evaporated, but fought back to take a late lead and had a chance to win the game.

The Bad: 4 consecutive live ball turnovers with the game on the line. People always say it’s about the totality of the game, not just a play here and there, but those 4 possessions cost the Pacers the game.

MVP: Paul George. He was the entire reason the Pacers were in this game, carrying the team in the third quarter when it seemed like no one else could score.
