The Celtics rallied from a 20-point deficit and an abysmal first-half performance to defeat the Pacers 103-95 on Monday for their third straight win, improving to 18-11.
Here are the takeaways.
Jaylen Brown received some well-earned ‘M-V-P’ chants.
The biggest shot of the game may have looked familiar to Celtics fans: A baseline inbound pass to Jaylen Brown flashing to the corner, where Brown turned to the hoop, gathered himself and let fly a high-arcing 3-pointer that cleared the backboard and snapped through the net without touching the rim.
The shot was nearly perfect from a narrative perspective.
