Conference Finals:
Boston Celtics extend their lead against the Pacers
The Boston Celtics have also won their second home game in the Eastern Conference Finals of the North American professional basketball league NBA and extended their lead in the "best of seven" series to 2:0. An outstanding Jaylen Brown led the best team of the regular season to a 126:110 win against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday (local time). The 27-year-old set his personal play-off record with 40 points.
Brown had already saved Boston in game one shortly before the end with a difficult three-pointer from the corner in overtime. After the lead changed hands a total of ten times in the opening quarter of the second game and Indiana still led 27-22 with 1:14 minutes to go, Boston turned up the heat. The Celtics scored 20 points in a row, while the Pacers went more than six minutes without scoring.
Even when Indiana closed the gap to two points at the start of the second half, Boston found the right answer and scored 16 of the next 21 points. Pacers star player Tyrese Haliburton had to leave the court in the third quarter with an injury to his left leg. The series now continues with two games in Indiana.
