Great response by the Pacers, who led most of the way in a 123-114 road win in Boston. Six in double figures. 53% shooting and 66 paint points.
Haliburton with 31pts and 11 FGs — all but two inside the paint (see below). Nembhard (17-8-8) was huge.

Right out of #Celtics timeout: transition Turner dunk, Horford’s 5th foul on Haliburton.
Boston should think about closing with Kornet, but they’ll want to keep Horford’s shooting out there as long as possible. – 8:12 PM

Huge 62-second sequence by the Pacers after the Celtics were within two.
Haliburton layup, Sheppard 3, Sheppard transition 3; plus, two straight stops.
From up 2 to 9 in 62 seconds. – 8:10 PM

A 33pt 3Q by the Pacers, but they also allowed 33.
They’re shooting 57%, have never trailed and are led by Haliburton (25-4-5). Once again, Nembhard (17-5-6) having a signifiant impact after sitting out Friday.
Brown has 26pts. Got to be careful about Tatum getting hot too. – 7:49 PM

Haliburton is the only Pacer shooting well because he only took 6 shots last night. – 8:27 PM

Jaylen Brown for 3. Then Tyrese Haliburton gets on the board with a long 2. He needed to see one go in. Celtics up 11-9. – 7:46 PM

Tyrese Haliburton took the seventh-most shots for the Pacers tonight. It’s just startling how you can watch the Pacers play well for a whole game only to realize after the fact what a small part of it he was. Just a totally different player this season. – 9:25 PM

More on this storyline
Scott Agness: Pacers had the lead early, but then were outscored in each of the final three quarters. SGA had 45. OKC earns NBA-best 9th straight win 120-112, snapping the Pacers’ five-game win streak. SH 23/9/7 from Nembhard, Siakam scored 22. Just 4 from Haliburton. Next: Fri. at BOS -via Twitter @ScottAgness / December 26, 2024
Scott Agness: Carlisle on Haliburton: “Ty only ended up with four points and six shots, but they committed Lu Dort to him. And Lu Dort is as good as a defender as there is in this league.” As for Toppin’s ankle: “He felt it when he went back out. I certainly assume he’ll miss tomorrow.” -via Twitter @ScottAgness / December 26, 2024
Tony East: Pacers crush the Kings 122-95. Pacers previous biggest win this season was 15 – it’s now 27. Dominant win behind a 70-43 second half. Pascal Siakam (19 points and 10 boards) and Myles Turner were great. Haliburton and Sheppard each had 14 points. Pacers have won four-straight. -via Twitter @TonyREast / December 22, 2024
