Just minutes into Friday’s game against the Indiana Pacers, the Celtics were already in trouble.
The Pacers got off to a hot start, going up 18-4 less than five minutes into the action. The Celtics were staring down at potentially a fourth consecutive loss, until Kemba Walker decided to do something about it.
Right after Celtics coach Brad Stevens called a timeout following the basket that put the Pacers up by 14, Walker attacked, getting Pacers center Myles Turner to foul him while shooting. Walker made both shots, gathered the defensive rebound on the following possession, then nailed a 28-foot 3-pointer.
