INDIANAPOLIS -- Jrue Holiday overcame an illness to convert the go-ahead three-point play with 38 seconds left and make a game-saving steal as the Boston Celtics beat the Indiana Pacers 114-111 on Saturday night. The Celtics, who overcame an 18-point deficit, took a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
Boston can clinch its second NBA Finals trip in three seasons with a Game 4 win Monday in Indianapolis.
Jayson Tatum had 36 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Jaylen Brown added 24 points and Al Horford had 23 points and seven 3-pointers as the Celtics won their sixth straight playoff game and stayed unbeaten on the road this postseason.
