00:00Yeah, those guys, Obi Toppin, they've got some great outfits.

00:08We just would like to see them in the blue and gold.

00:10No question.

00:11Huff and Kata.

00:12On the floor.

00:13Yeah.

00:13And the Pacers have the ball to get underway on a Friday night,

00:17night after Christmas, for the Pacers and the Celtics.

00:22Let's see if Benedict Matherin can get it going.

00:24Nimhard in the corner for three, and the Pacers have the early lead.

00:29Pritchard had 11 points and 5 assists on Monday.

00:32They lob it in.

00:33Kata puts it down.

00:37Tonight, his 28th start.

00:39He is really active for them in the post.

00:43Siakam to the basket, lays it in.

00:45And the Pacers' leading scorer is on the board, averaging 23.5.

00:50White for three.

00:51It's short.

00:52Kata the offensive rebound.

00:54Out to Walsh, who hits the three.

00:57Nebhard chasing Brown, and it's off the front of the rim.

01:01Huff the rebound.

01:02Yeah, he challenged the shot enough that Brown couldn't get a free look.

01:05Matherin for three.

01:08And the Pacers on the run again.

01:10Matherin had the ball tipped away.

01:13Yeah, White was able to get behind him and tipped it away.

01:17And now Jalen Brown to the basket.

01:20He's 19 years old, which is just incredible.

01:23But he's been playing pro basketball since he's like nine.

01:26As Nimhard knocks down another three.

01:28But if you're right, it was his energy.

01:30Players tend to stand.

01:32And I thought Jackson did a nice job.

01:34He just couldn't complete it.

01:36That's too high.

01:36Oh, my.

01:37You were going to say that.

01:38That's too high.

01:39I thought I'd agree with you, Todd.

01:40I think we're using just different terms for the same thing.

01:43Nebhard for a third three.

01:48Exactly what we saw.

01:50Steal.

01:51Cookies.

01:53Nice job there.

01:55That's Nebhard, too.

01:57He has taken the place of Quinton Jackson.

02:03Gonzalez, the first bench player for Boston, as Brown has his second field goal.

02:09First eight to ten seconds getting the shot up.

02:12You can see that's why the ball, there's almost a shot being taken almost immediately.

02:17And Jay Huff on a nice dime from Andrew Nimhard.

02:20And Pritchard has it the other way for Boston.

02:24It's blocked by Huff.

02:26And now Thompson, let it go.

02:29Yeah, let it go.

02:31And one concern for him has been that tip of his right thumb of fracture.

02:36You can see he's got it taped up as Mathlin goes inside, fades, and scores.

02:43And he missed it, Brown, and here comes Thompson.

02:46Mathlin will pull up three.

02:48But you see, he wasn't tentative.

02:50He was pulling up to shoot that three.

02:52He had a man open in the corner where he probably should have passed the ball.

02:54And an 18-point halftime lead.

02:58Brown with the shot clock at six.

03:00Houser is in for the first time.

03:03And his rainbow three is good.

03:09When this was really the unit that got them back in the game the other night, now Houser has hit back-to-back threes.

03:16Of the Indy star saying, getting the pace we want to play, fast and random.

03:20If we buy into that, the shots will fall as we get more comfortable with that pace.

03:25TJ's comfortable with that pace as well.

03:28Make them feel.

03:29Extra pass.

03:30Thompson is going to drive.

03:32Right there.

03:32Tony Bradley.

03:35That's what you said, Quinn.

03:36He's a rebounder.

03:37And the rebound behind that was Bradley.

03:41Now Pritchard against Thompson.

03:43Step back three by Peyton.

03:45Pritchard is good.

03:47Simons.

03:48The former Portland Trailblazer.

03:50Knocked away by McConnell.

03:54McConnell goes inside.

03:55Tosses it in.

03:56Really sweet touch on that one.

03:58White is back in.

04:03He will launch and leave it short.

04:05But Garza right there for the rebound.

04:07They ran that pick and roll up high.

04:10Siakam gets it from McConnell.

04:12Rebound 10 down.

04:14But clearly he was being blocked out.

04:17McConnell tees up three and got it.

04:19Second chance, Indiana.

04:22White cut up by Walker.

04:23And the dunk by Luka Garza, the former Iowa Hawkeye.

04:31Not a two-way player.

04:33McConnell inside.

04:34Find Siakam.

04:36And the drive in the basket.

04:38The Pacers have a season-high 39 first quarter points.

04:42Shots by the Pacers in the first quarter.

04:44One of the challenges you have when you're struggling offensively, you don't get enough shots.

04:48But if you've got 27, that's plenty.

04:50But Hauser got a look and is able to...

04:53Yeah, Hauser, that's what he does with his team.

04:58He's a three-point shooter.

05:00Got a mismatch.

05:02And he hits a deep three.

05:04And they make on average nearly 16.

05:06That's number one in the NBA.

05:10White threw the leg.

05:12But picked off by Shireman.

05:14And the three by Simons is good.

05:16You've got Potter in the game, and it's hard to play fast with Potter because he doesn't know where he's supposed to be.

05:23Walker, 4-3.

05:25Good.

05:26He's playing him very physically, and it's working.

05:29White bounces now to Brown.

05:31Now you've got to help.

05:33There's a difference in...

05:35You can see the difference in how Jalen Brown reacts when he's got this.

05:38They try to lob it over the top.

05:39They do get it to Brown.

05:41Brown doubled now by Potter and Nebhard.

05:44Shireman, he hits a long three.

05:48Chris, they're third in the East.

05:51They're third in the East.

05:5218 and 11.

05:53Mathren hits.

05:54Yeah, without their best player, they're third in the East.

05:57So they obviously made some really good decisions.

05:59And quite frankly, my friend Brand deserved a lot of credit for.

06:04Pritchard stepped back three.

06:08Well, you can't give him time to load like that.

06:11Don't know.

06:12And that's what you get if you're not careful.

06:16White.

06:17Dotted line.

06:19And a three-point lead for Boston.

06:23To get it to Huff because the pass was going to be too long with it Walker.

06:26Brown inside.

06:30It's a five-point Boston advantage.

06:32Huff for three.

06:35And rebounded by Shireman who's getting minutes with some of the starters.

06:43Attacking.

06:45Cutting.

06:46Mathren.

06:46Huff.

06:47Play really good quick pass right back to Huff after he had passed it.

06:52We have a whole second half left.

06:55Pritchard.

06:55Nice job.

06:57He pushed off at the end.

06:59He does it every time.

07:00He pushes off with his head.

07:02As we talked about, those little two-point shots.

07:07Two-point shots, exactly.

07:10Deep three by White.

07:12Yeah, off an offensive.

07:13Not an offensive rebound.

07:14And a 13-point lead.

07:17A quick change by the Celtics after the Pacers led by 15.

07:24Tipped up and in by Mathren.

07:26But it was a good play because Dave had the position.

07:33Pritchard again.

07:34Held there by Siakam.

07:36Bobbled momentarily by Brown.

07:38Brown's handles have gotten so much better as his career has.

07:46It really has because I tell you what else.

07:48He's a better passer.

07:50But what he's really looking to do here is find a way.

07:53Oh, great pass.

07:54Great pass.

07:56A lookoff.

07:58Pritchard cut off.

08:03Kata shot clock down to seven.

08:07And Pritchard is a low.

08:10Pacers to trim the margin to ten.

08:15We did a crossover and a bump.

08:18Celtics had 28 first quarter points.

08:2145 here in the second.

08:24Nembhard inside.

08:25Dotted line.

08:26Got it.

08:27And 34 first half points.

08:30Ah, he got clear.

08:32He got clear.

08:34Good defense by Ethan Thompson.

08:35Better shot.

08:36He got clear.

08:37By Brett.

08:37Because the pass was going.

08:39That's another thing that I think people have underestimated in terms of the way the game is played.

08:42It's how you pass the ball.

08:44There's another Boston turnover.

08:46There's second to start the quarter.

08:49I like it.

08:50They're up on these screens.

08:51Brown has an eight to shoot.

08:54Kata is down.

08:56What you see being guarded.

08:58This one here is Siakam is guarding.

09:03Nembhard circles.

09:05Tried to draw the foul.

09:06Didn't happen.

09:07But he got the left-hander to go in.

09:10Andrew Nembhard has 13.

09:13Average is 17 on the year.

09:15That's the number three score for the Pacers and Jalen Brown.

09:21Pick up Mike Jackson.

09:23Again, no Isaiah Jackson.

09:25He's out for the second straight game with a concussion.

09:28And that's a 4-3 for Nembhard.

09:32Pritchard.

09:35Walsh.

09:35White for three.

09:38Whoa.

09:38Good all-around player.

09:40Coming in tonight, 94 threes already made by Derek White.

09:45Again, this is a team that makes the most threes.

09:4982-71.

09:50Celtics by 11.

09:53Played three and a half.

09:54And it's a steal.

09:55Matherin has it.

09:56Pacers have a three-on-one.

09:57Jackson lays it in.

10:01Shot clock at eight.

10:04White picks it up.

10:06Cross-court.

10:06Brown.

10:09Fading and hitting.

10:11Pretty close to the shot that he made.

10:12Stadium, you didn't help.

10:16This is...

10:17He likes this side of the floor.

10:21He might have been...

10:22Might have been after his rookie year when we went to South Africa.

10:25Yes, sir.

10:26We spent time with him in South Africa.

10:27And Tony Bradley got the basket.

10:33And so he sees somebody...

10:35As a matter of fact, I know one who's...

10:36Believe it or not, one of his mentors is Isaiah Thomas.

10:39Well, I had to look down.

10:41He was drafted in...

10:42We were there together in 2015 and 2017.

10:45So it was 2017 after his first season.

10:48After his rookie year.

10:51Garza with the three.

10:53Inside arm.

10:54Here's Walker again.

10:56In and out.

10:56No good.

11:00Micah Potter is the 26th player.

11:05How's he?

11:06And we're not even to January 1.

11:12Walker for his third.

11:21Jalen Brown against Thompson.

11:25At that point, couldn't play him any better defensively.

11:30Demhart had it batted away by Brown.

11:32And Brown got the steal.

11:36Garza got the basket.

11:38He had a game this year where he had seven of them.

11:41And he scored all 21 of his points from three-point range.

11:44Let it go.

11:45He's got to let it go.

11:48That's it.

11:49Undrafted back in 2021.

11:51Has played his entire career in Boston.

11:55Potter fought for the rebound.

11:57And Pacers fall down.

12:00Well, he sure got the fan base riled up.

12:05And those two are guarding each other now.

12:07At least Walsh is guarding.

12:08And McConnell scores!

12:09There you go.

12:13McConnell looking again.

12:15He's going to put his head down on the baseline.

12:18Go inside.

12:19Reverse layup.

12:20He got it again.

12:20He's got some real intent at TJ now.

12:22Regular season meeting between the Pacers and the Celtics.

12:27So number 200 will come here as a long three by Jairus Walker.

12:32Good closeout by Thompson.

12:38Step through by White.

12:4117 for Derrick.

12:42Playing this league.

12:43That just turned 21.

12:45Yeah.

12:45He's had 27 points in his last three games.

12:49He had 18 in his first nine as Simons after a 5-7 start.

12:55Siaka could not get it but tipped his own miss in.

13:03And they take that away from you.

13:05And all NBA players, the great players, managed to get something done regardless.

13:09Terrific spinning shot.

13:13And I'm thinking that.

13:14Had a back injury that kept him out of training camp.

13:16Missed the first 24 games due to injury as Brown hits a three.

13:22That's a step back three.

13:23It was night yesterday.

13:25The Lakers, Lakers didn't have much of a chance.

13:29And Jalen Brown has his eighth straight.

13:38Now Furphy in the corner for three.

13:40Got it.

13:47Misshandles momentarily and Potter to the left hand.

13:50Will win its fourth straight.

13:52Nine of 11 and 14 out of 18 as Pritchard has his ninth 20-point game of the year.

14:0013 for Garza.

14:04Make it 15 for Garza.

14:07Jones, Thompson, Potter, Furphy.

14:13And Cam Jones with two more.

14:17Quit after the slow start.

14:18Boston has been really good as Furphy don'ts.

14:22They were 5-7 at mid-November.

14:30Pacers got off to a great start.

14:32A season-high 39 first quarter points.

14:35And good to see Furphy.

14:37And that's going to do it.

14:38Indiana's going to dribble out the clock.

14:41And that will be the end of the night.

14:42The Boston Celtics will move to 19-11.

14:47Four straight wins.

14:48Nine of 11.

14:50And 14-4 over the last 18 games.

14:53Saddle up.

14:53You got to go to Miami.

14:55That's all this is.

14:57This game is over.

14:57Let's go to Miami.

14:59Get a W.

15:00Wrap things up when we come back.

15:02Celtics win it 140-122.

15:04Get a W.

15:06Back up.

15:07We'll be back.

15:08Every match.

15:09Be a goalie's team.

15:11They're the ones, they're the ones!

15:12So the first semifinal that they will,

15:17will align your shirts.

15:21And you're gonna payace.

15:23Then you need a champ.

15:25And you have to play the hiatus.

15:27The Joshua.

15:27You're gonna pay off.

15:28You're gonna pay.

15:29Wrong now.

15:30Use Missouri.

15:30Wisconsin- départs.

15:31You're gonna pay him
