00:00It is a Feliz Navidad for Ugo Gonzalez.
00:08He has arrived with the Boston Celtics.
00:10And number seven is back tonight.
00:12Jalen Brown trying to drop 30 for the seventh game in a row.
00:15Tonight, the last two champs in the East Lockhorns.
00:18Pascal Siakam and the Pacers in town.
00:20Josh Minot slides into the starting five with Jordan Walsh out for the Pacers,
00:24dealing with some injuries.
00:25Still have Andrew Nembhardt, Benedict Matherin, and Pascal Siakam
00:29out there with Ethan Thompson and Jalen.
00:30They're struggling.
00:31They're going to get an all-NBA player back and a top-five pick.
00:36But always a dangerous team with the way their coach, the pace they play.
00:40No question.
00:41Celtics don't want to mess with this one before Christmas.
00:44And then the next day heading out to Indy.
00:46This is the first leg of a home-and-home.
00:48Kevin Scott, Nate Green, Simone Jelps are officials tonight.
00:52Oh, sweet.
00:53In the right corner, pocket.
00:55There you go, Joe Mazzula.
00:57Good recovery by Siakam.
01:02Siakam, the great two-way player for the Pacers, averaging almost 24 points a game.
01:06And he buries the three.
01:07Best in franchise history.
01:10Matherin, the drive-in kick.
01:12White defense.
01:13Siakam, good matchup here.
01:15Matherin's left alone.
01:17Not good defense that time.
01:20Driving kick, driving kick.
01:22They got to the NBA Finals game seven against Oklahoma City.
01:24Doing that right there.
01:25Oh, my goodness.
01:26Insert against the seven-footer.
01:29Just took him to the weight room.
01:31Huff leads the league in blocked shots.
01:33Had no chance at that one.
01:37Siakam gets another good look.
01:39And another three.
01:40He loves playing the Celtics.
01:42From his Toronto days to now his Indiana days.
01:48All three of the Pacers' buckets have come from downtown.
01:51Jalen Brown all alone under the basket.
02:00Siakam, little block work.
02:01Nice finish.
02:02Oh, man.
02:03Timeout Joe Mazzula.
02:05Glad if he keeps playing like this.
02:06Nah, he'd keep it at 99.
02:07But he's still getting better.
02:11Here's White turning the corner all the way to the basket.
02:14And he rolls it.
02:18Matherin.
02:20There he is.
02:22Huff can really stretch it.
02:24He's for Landless.
02:26Pacers pushing.
02:28Matherin for three.
02:29Hot start for them.
02:30Five for six outside the yard.
02:32These teams have split the last eight regular season meetings.
02:36These are the last two champions out of the Eastern Conference.
02:39Brown and Matherin going toe-to-toe.
02:41JB for two.
02:44Six early for Jalen Brown.
02:46Looking to get over 30 again.
02:47Great hands from Garza.
02:49Got the steal.
02:50Three on one.
02:51Brown to Minot.
02:52Waits.
02:52And scores.
02:53Great adjustment by Minot.
02:56He was trying to body bump Jalen Brown, which is not always a good idea.
03:01Pritchard to step back in the pink.
03:04Garza got a hand on that one.
03:06Sets up JB for three.
03:09Second chance points created by Luka Garza.
03:15Luka Garza had nine offensive rebounds Saturday in Toronto as Thompson hits a triple.
03:23Most nine offensive rebounds in one game for Luka.
03:25Tied for fourth most all-time by a Celtics reserve in a game.
03:31Nembhard for three.
03:33Boxed out Garza.
03:34Pacer lead is seven.
03:36Walker into Simons for two.
03:40Inside Kato.
03:42Size advantage against Jackson.
03:44Missed the shot.
03:47Here comes Nembhard.
03:48Thompson tries.
03:50No hesitation from the Pacers tonight.
03:52Road Pacers lead by 12.
03:57Indy is one and 12 away from home this season.
04:01As Simons gets his first buck.
04:03It's like hard watching him score.
04:08White.
04:10Kato out to an open.
04:12Sam Hauser.
04:13What do you think?
04:15Good job by Kato.
04:16White comes flying off that handoff.
04:24Stops on a dime.
04:25Knocks down the three.
04:27Did you see him at Summerlin?
04:28I did.
04:30That's legit, huh?
04:32He's an athlete.
04:34Quentin Jackson doing it by himself.
04:37Pacers just really shooting it well.
04:40Something's not bad.
04:42Just got to guard a little bit better.
04:43When Jackson kicks it out, Johnny Furphy for three.
04:48They made eight triples on their Furphy.
04:52Yeah, winning the paint battle 12 to 6.
04:54The Pacers are getting in there, just spraying it out for threes.
04:57Look at Garza.
04:57Made that look easy on the football.
05:01That's how he gets his touches for this Celtics team.
05:05Let's get Ugo standing up.
05:07Siakam, he's a great post player.
05:08And there you see it.
05:10Siakam figured that out.
05:13Matherin got some space.
05:15Rises up right at him at the summit.
05:21Gonzales pushing tempo.
05:23Whoa.
05:25Prep year at Worcester Academy.
05:26Started his college career at Maine.
05:28And then, of course, played for the Celtics.
05:30Here's Nembhard for two.
05:32Carlisle also met his wife at a Grateful Dead concert that Bill Walton got him tickets to.
05:36That was their first date.
05:38Great part of the Celtic City documentary.
05:40Brown late shot clock.
05:52That's a fall.
05:53Jalen Brown with 11.
05:56Tough.
05:57J.B. looking for his seventh consecutive 30-point game.
06:07Siakam.
06:08They are making string music.
06:1010 for 14 from downtown.
06:1271.4%.
06:14Again, worst three-point shooting team in the league coming into this one.
06:22Hope Richard slams the brakes.
06:24Knocks in the triple.
06:27He's super physical and he has a ball in his hand.
06:30And yet, has the skill to step back and knock it down.
06:36Watch the fadeaway.
06:38Siakam has 14 already.
06:41That's at 16.
06:42Uro's got to change up his feet.
06:44You cannot be square like that.
06:45Siakam knows and he's going to be able to shoot right over the top.
06:48Richard again, this time inside the paint.
06:58Not enough Kato to throw it down.
07:01He's breaking it out.
07:06Richard high-picking roll has been good for the season.
07:10That was Kato's first basket.
07:13Good defense from Brown.
07:18Nembhard collects it with five to shoot.
07:23Really tough shot.
07:26They never get everything right now.
07:274.1 to shoot.
07:29Nembhard the inbounder.
07:31Thompson will try.
07:32And hit a three.
07:34They're going to make it every shot right now.
07:36Richard on the tap back.
07:38Chopping up Nembhard.
07:40Who stays in front of him.
07:41A good defender.
07:42Fritchard.
07:43Too good.
07:47Furphy moving his feet.
07:48Screened off by Kato.
07:50Fritchard got to his spot.
07:51And splashed the jumper.
07:53Really nice escape dribble.
07:55Now he switched on to Kato.
08:00Thompson in the lane.
08:01He can play.
08:04He's off to a great start.
08:05Siakam shooting six of seven.
08:09And he hits another.
08:10He is just dominant in that area.
08:13Can't finish around half.
08:14The top shot blocker in the league.
08:16Looks to be a little banged up.
08:18Furphy running the floor.
08:20Siakam left alone for three.
08:21Pascale Siakam has 23 points in this first half.
08:33Pritchard Kata on the alley-oop.
08:36Can you look and see Pacers have blown any 20-point leads this year?
08:40Gonzalez for two on the nice feet from Brown.
08:45So, yeah, I think they're going to be in a really good position next year.
08:50Leip to spin.
08:59You've got to get stopped and you've got to attack the paint.
09:04Celtics have attempted 32-pointers and 19 three-pointers.
09:09Nembhard again
09:1414 for him
09:16Rear highs across the board
09:21For Andrew Nembhard
09:23Brown just taking him to the post
09:25There's that challenge for Gonzalez
09:28Defending Siakam on the block
09:31Ugo plays it straight up
09:33Siakam created some space
09:35Mather is the only guy there for the rebound
09:38But two and a half minutes in
09:40To the third quarter
09:41Here's Anfernee Simons
09:43Huff with the block
09:45Garza offensive rebound
09:46Got it again
09:47It scored it
09:48Simons likes this matchup
09:50The jab
09:51Picked up the dribble
09:51Got it back
09:52Defended by Huff
09:53On an island with the big man
09:56That's his signature
09:57And it is poetry
09:59Defense
10:00Defense
10:02Defense
10:05Simon switching on to Matherin
10:07Oh God
10:08Really good finish from Benedict Matherin
10:11Gonzalez

10:16Ooh
10:17Ugo
10:18Shaded over to Siakam

10:23Around Siakam
10:24Now Nembhard is doubled
10:26Hauser with the steal
10:28Shireman spots up

10:45Hauser right back at you
10:54And
10:55Hauser
10:56Terrace Walker
11:02Drops off
11:03Weisman
11:03Ugo got a hand on that
11:05Here's Anthony Simons
11:09Inside the arc
11:11Now back outside
11:12Cash is out for three
11:14Charming dealing with Siakam
11:22Not an easy task
11:25Those are his first two
11:26In the second half
11:26Just the fifth main field goal
11:28In the quarter
11:29For the Pacers
11:30Simons
11:35No angle
11:36Charces coming down the middle
11:40Unguarded
11:40For the offensive rebound
11:41Jackson gets two right back
11:45Jackson got some serious quits
11:46One, two, three, three, four
11:51Matherin the step through
11:53Ugo almost blocked
11:55And Matherin scores it
11:56Celtics trying to
11:58Bite off another piece of this lead
12:00Brown lays it home with the locks
12:03Gonzalez the steal
12:10Brown got a hand on it
12:11Garza running shotgun
12:13Brown is blocked at the rim
12:14By Matherin
12:15Jackson on the drive
12:20Matherin puts it home
12:23Doing a good job defensively
12:25Making plays
12:25But we gotta put that
12:26Ball in the hoop
12:28Pacers were 12 for 20
12:30In the first half
12:31One for 12
12:32In the third quarter
12:32Jalen Brown
12:33Just too big

12:49Derek White
12:50For three
12:51To Brown in the corner
13:05Matched up with Siakam
13:07Just like in the conference finals
13:09JB inside
13:11And scoops it home
13:12Celtics take the lead
13:14Five minutes gone in the fourth
13:18Ugo Gonzalez defending Siakam

14:13In the fourth
14:14Nemo it's fouled
