The Boston Celtics secured a convincing 118-101 victory against the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse this past Saturday night, with Celtics All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum‘s outstanding performance the highlight of the game for Boston with 38 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, and a block.
The Celtics’ defensive efforts were especially outstanding, and held the Pacers to their lowest point total of the 2023-24 season so far at just 101. The team’s ability to adjust and lock in defensively, especially in the second half, played a crucial role in the victory. Tatum and Jaylen Brown’s collaboration on both ends stood out as a two-man show, with both players contributing significantly to the win in the absence of star big man Kristaps Porzingis, who went down injured early in the game.
