NBA Play-offs: Jaylen Brown stellar, Boston flies 2-0

In the Pacers house worries about the injury to Haliburton

After winning, in a sprint, Game 1, Boston is not distracted in the second act of the series with Indiana. The Celtics, at the TD Garden, impose themselves with a dry 126-110, thus bringing themselves to 2-0 and, therefore, to two wins away from the pass to the NBA Finals. Now the series moves to Indiana for the next two games with the Pacers already with their backs against the wall.

Boston plays focused, so much so that Indiana stays in the game only until halftime. Monster performance for Brown, who, after scoring the overtime triple in the first act, gives an incredible performance, finishing with an impressive 40 points (tied his career high in the playoffs).

In addition to Brown, in the green-and-white house, Tatum (23 points and six rebounds) and White (23 points with 4/8 from three) also shined. Holiday’s contribution was also important: 15 points and 10 assists on the bench. "The'only thing we have to keep in mind è that they were down 0-2 in a series (with New York, ed.) and then they went to play Game 7. They are undefeated at home, it will take a lot of confidence to do our job and win the ", the words of Mazzulla, Boston coach, reported by ESPN.

In the Pacers’ ranks, a solid Siakam (28 points with 13/17 from the field) was not enough. The bad news è the injury to Haliburton. The Indiana star left the court during the third period. For the Pacers all-star, problems with his left leg. His presence in the third act of the series è in strong doubt.
