Boston Celtics hold off late surge in Indiana, snap two-game skid

The Boston Celtics edged out a 114-111 win against the Indiana Pacers Tuesday night, despite blowing another double-digit lead. Boston earned a much-needed win after struggling over the past five games.

The Pacers went on a 23-5 run in the fourth quarter to take a 107-104 lead. Down the stretch, big buckets from Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart sealed the deal, along with a much cleaner inbound pass in the closing seconds.

Jayson Tatum had himself another 30 point performance, shooting 11/22 from the field, grabbing six rebounds, and snatching four steals.
