White finished with 16 points. Jaylen Brown led Boston with 29 points while Jayson Tatum added 26 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists to help erase a nine-point second-half deficit. The Celtics will play the winner of the Dallas-Minnesota Series. The Mavericks are up 3-0 and have a chance to win the series on Tuesday night, May 28.
Pacers coach Rick Carlisle promised his team would fight hard to extend their season — and, as usual, this young roster didn’t disappoint. Tempers flared briefly in the third when Pacers center Myles Turner knocked guard White to the ground, Brown grabbed Turner’s shoulder and Turner shoved Brown away.But that fray didn’t change the back-and-forth tenor of this game — or this series.
