The Boston Celtics are on fire! 🔥 They pulled off an incredible 114-111 comeback victory over the Indiana Pacers in Game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. This win extends their series lead to a commanding 3-0. 💪
The Pacers, missing their assists leader Tyrese Haliburton due to a hamstring injury, came out swinging. They showcased some serious offensive fireworks, shooting a sizzling 64.6% from the field in the first half! 😱 They even built up an 18-point lead (84-66) in the third quarter. It looked like they were unstoppable! 🚀
Andrew Nembhard was a total beast on the court! 🐐 The sophomore guard dropped a postseason career-high 32 points and dished out 9 assists, making 12 of his 21 shots and knocking down 4 of 7 from beyond the arc. 🎯 He was lighting it up and had Pacers fans on their feet! 🙌
But the Celtics had other plans. 😏 With less than 10 seconds left and the Pacers down by just one point (112-111), Nembhard tried to make a move to save the game. However, he turned the ball over to Jrue Holiday, sealing the win for Boston. Talk about a nail-biter! 😬
Now, the Celtics are just one win away from securing their spot in the NBA Finals. Will they sweep the Pacers in Game 4? Stay tuned! 🏆
