Welp. Let’s get into it. The Indiana Pacers reluctantly welcomed the Boston Celtics to the Fieldhouse Monday night for their second meeting of the young season. The Pacers hoped to avenge November’s 10-point loss to the Celtics, who are currently sitting proudly at the top spot in the East despite going just 3-3 in their last six games after a hot start to the season.
Last time these two teams met, the Pacers were without Victor Oladipo and they played an atrocious second half after leading by as many as 13 points. So, even though the Pacers played just last night in Brooklyn, maybe this one wasn’t necessarily going to be your classic NBA Schedule Loss.
