00:01Third meeting of the season between these two teams.
00:05They split the first two meetings in late December, and this game is underway.
00:10Deanna off to a 9-2 lead, Brogdon the lead, Fee Turner lays it in, plus the foul.
00:19Bodies fall, open in the corner, catch, fire, got it, Holliday on a three.
00:26Orlando, that if Kemba Walker is not the dynamic scoring lead guard doing this, it's like
00:32he changes the pace when he enters the game, and the ability to get to the paint.
00:38Walker is starting to cook a little bit here in the first.
00:43Walker, into the lane, stops on a dime, sets up Pritchard on a three.
00:50It's a little runner there, slicing into what was a 15-2 Celtics run.
00:56Tice, dumps it underneath to Williams, little big-to-big passing.
01:01Here's Brogdon, over to Holliday, his three is good, Justin Holliday.
01:13Again, Tice, this time thinking the pass to Williams before hitting the gym.
01:175-5 for 5, a 29-26 Pacers lead, Williams on the steal, and puts it down.
01:24And if you're going to change defenses, Ryan, communication is absolutely pivotal.
01:30Tatum fading away, there's no defense for that.
01:33Williams, two-for-one opportunity here for Boston, in transition, Pritchard gives it to Teague.
01:40Teague on the attack, his floater is good.
01:43I want him to get to the free throw line.
01:45We need to get to the line more, but his talk and his activity, you know, in the back line of our defense has been great.
01:51He's been super active.
01:53And Ryan, I think you make a significant point, and it's a small one, right?
01:57The only starter out there as you see Tatum go up to Robert Williams with the lock threat ability.
02:02Pacers started this game 5-for-5 from the line as Neesmith misses.
02:07Pritchard catches and puts it in.
02:10Here's McConnell.
02:12Tried to get it in to Sabonis, was able to.
02:15McDermott in the corner, short.
02:18Yeah, seven points in six minutes and a level of aggression.
02:22Oh, the no look from Tatum to Pritchard who lays it in.
02:27A novel part of an arsenal just five years ago, and now it's a requirement.
02:33Williams couldn't get it to go.
02:36How about Pritchard?
02:37Another offensive rebound feeds Williams for the finish.
02:40Put some energy into this game, and we've seen Tristan Thompson get up and yell.
02:46Tice get up and yell.
02:48The message thus far has been heeded as Teague floated it up short.
02:53Williams saved it.
02:55Pritchard hits it.
02:57Talked about the physical gifts of Robert Williams' doors.
03:00Got a 7'6 wind span.
03:05Down the floor, Sabonis leaked ahead for the flush.
03:09Holliday lost it.
03:14Got it back.
03:15Flipped it up and in.
03:17Just before the shot clock expired.
03:20Karis LeVert has started to do some non-contact things in practice.
03:26Progressing really well after.
03:28Walker from 15.
03:33Yeah.
03:34Got it.
03:35Campbell Walker with 14 points in this first half.
03:38In the arms of Indiana.
03:40Sumner came up with a save.
03:43Now the dish.
03:45Corner 3 is good for Justin Holliday.
03:48Brown pull up jumper is good.
04:00Brogdon.
04:01Quick first step and eventually got to the bucket.
04:0412-2 for 1 opportunity here for Boston.
04:07Brown pedals it into traffic.
04:10Looking for some space and he left Turner in the dust.
04:15Indiana playing the first of full straight on the road.
04:18Shot clock fading.
04:20Holliday.
04:22Leading.
04:23Take up was just one of seven from the floor in the first half.
04:29Had just two points as Tice hits the free throw line jumper.
04:33Missed five games in January after he tested positive.
04:36Said I've experienced some games where.
04:41Miss Brown twists that one in.
04:46Pacers just 19th in the league in free throw shooting percentage.
04:49But bringing it tonight as is Kemba.
04:52Kemba's talked openly about this isn't a physical thing.
04:55It's a confidence thing for him.
04:57Thompson muscles in and then lays him off safely.
05:01Holliday nearly stolen.
05:03Walker gets it back.
05:05No look to Tice.
05:07Baseline Jane.
05:08He's got to keep him honest.
05:13Walker sets up Tice.
05:18There you go.
05:19That's how you keep him honest.
05:21Brown lost it.
05:26Holliday dashing to the car.
05:28To the car.
05:31Now Brown and McDermott back into the play.
05:34Brogdon will fire and hit.
05:37Sometimes the game is easy right.
05:39Achieving in the early going.
05:41It's a bonus.
05:43Kids after drawing three.
05:45It's Holliday who hits the threes.
05:48It has helped Indiana take what was a ten point deficit.
05:53Shave it down to eight.
05:54But now Walker hits the three.
06:03Tatum elevating and hitting.
06:05On the credit.
06:06He's just battling Tatum every step of the way tonight.
06:10Oh, Sabonis.
06:11A little hesitation to let the waves part.
06:15That's 6-10 and making all these passes without a tremendous feel and understanding.
06:20Williams able to squeeze it in.
06:22Push the foul.
06:24The challenge by Holliday again.
06:26They're just trying to get in a stance and make him score over the top.
06:31Brogdon run off by Teague.
06:33Finds a bonus for the soft touch.
06:36Such good feel for where he is.
06:38Can finish either hand.
06:40To forward and Tatum takes advantage from deep.
06:45He lose that many possession ball games.
06:47Of course it's going to play a part in how you're thinking down the stretch.
06:51So you'd like to be in a position as Rob gives them an eight point edge.
06:56Sideboard to McConnell.
06:58Shedding up the floor.
07:00Sets up Lamb.
07:02Lamb's leaner is good.
07:05I agree, Ryan.
07:06I wonder how much of it is.
07:08It's here to stay.
07:09You've probably cleaned up your communication on the bench.
07:12That video is getting to you quicker.
07:14Your decisions are easier.
07:15With Tatum that lone starter.
07:19Sumner slashing through and pushing it in.
07:22Plus the foul.
07:24A run and a chance for more.
07:26McConnell dishing.
07:29Corner three.
07:30Holliday got it.
07:32It's a one point game.
07:349-0 pace a run.
07:36In the corner.
07:37Teague run off.
07:38Walker's had a big night.
07:39From 12.
07:40Sure.
07:41Walker's stepped back.
07:42Jumper is good.
07:43Walker the lob.
07:44Ground the deep catch.
07:45Trying to work around.
07:46Turner he does.
07:47Nice move.
07:48And understood he could get by Turner if he got ahead of Steve.
07:55Holliday floats it up and in.
07:57Here comes McConnell.
07:59Navigating.
08:00Pulls Tice out to the perimeter.
08:01Turner has the size.
08:02Great recognition from McConnell and Turner the finish.
08:06Now Holliday nearly came up with a steal.
08:08Turner's first shot.
08:09Turner has the size.
08:10Great recognition from McConnell and Turner the finish.
08:12Now Holliday nearly came up with a steal.
08:14Turner's first point since the first quarter.
08:15Tatum floats it in.
08:16And he's shooting it at 35%.
08:17As Tice connects again.
08:18Daniel Tice with 14 points.
08:19Balls in the draft.
08:20Can you see it?
08:21And then it's the shot.
08:22And then it's the shot.
08:23Here comes McConnell.
08:24Here comes McConnell.
08:25Here comes McConnell.
08:26Navigating.
08:27Pulls Tice out to the perimeter.
08:28Turner has the size.
08:29Great recognition from McConnell and Turner the finish.
08:31Now Holliday nearly came up with a steal.
08:32Turner's first point since the first quarter.
08:34Tatum floats it in.
08:35And he's shooting it at 35%.
08:38As Tice connects again.
08:42Daniel Tice with 14 points.
08:43points. Boston's lead is 7. Walker shown off the handle. Walker speeds to the rim. A 30-point night for Kemba Walker. So the two bigs are back now as Sabonis takes it at Thompson. Gets underneath the hoop and finds an angle. 45 seconds remaining. Williams with 13 points and 10 boards. Walker gives it up. Tice in the corner.
09:13You bet! Daniel Tice! It will inbound. Brogdon lobs it. Turner hoists it. And that will do it.
