Boston and Indiana will play Game 2 of their Eastern Conference playoff finals on Thursday in Boston. This game comes after a thrilling Game 1, where Boston secured a 133-128 victory. The Cs recovered from a 3-point deficit with 40 seconds left to secure a customary Game 1 victory. This win condemned the Pacers to their first defeat since returning to the Conference Finals in a decade. Boston was without Kristaps Porzingis, who is recovering from a calf strain. In his absence, Jayson Tatum turned up for the occasion, scoring 10 vital points in overtime. Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton had two critical turnovers that helped Boston recover from a 5-point deficit with two minutes remaining. The Celtics will now look to win Game 2 at home and seize control of this series.Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers Form
