Tyrese Haliburton scored 33 points and the Indiana Pacers opened a 30-point lead in the first half before holding off the Jayson Tatum-led Boston Celtics 117-112 on Wednesday night.
“We were certainly aware that they were going to come out in the second half and put everything into making a furious run, and they did,” Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said, via ESPN. “I was just really proud of the way we hung tough in difficult stretches. We found ways to get stops and get the ball in the basket.”
