The Celtics recovered from a shaky third quarter in time to claim their second win in a row on Tuesday, defeating the Pacers 129-124.
Here are the takeaways.
1. The Celtics scored a ton of points early – 81 in the first half, thanks in no small part to a continuation of Monday’s fourth quarter performance by Derrick White. After finding his shot in the fourth quarter Monday, White poured in 15 points in the first quarter against the Pacers and four more in the second. White was so good, he managed to spot the Celtics some minutes with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown on the bench.
