Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday went the entire day feeling under the weather before spending Saturday night making the Indiana Pacers feel sick.
Holiday's efforts present the Celtics with a chance to clinch the best-of-seven series on Monday in Indianapolis. The Pacers played without All-NBA Third-Team selection Tyrese Haliburton, who injured his left hamstring in Game 2. The Pacers were later looking for a go-ahead shot and eschewed a timeout. Nembhard was handling the ball and Holiday forced it away with 3.3 seconds remaining. Holiday was then fouled and made two free throws with 1.7 seconds to play.
Derrick White scored 13 points for the Celtics, who shot 47 percent from the field and were 16 of 46 from 3-point range. McConnell and Nembhard answered with baskets to push the lead to seven. Indiana later led 109-101 after McConnell's driving layup with 2:38 left before the Celtics responded with the closing charge.
