Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers Starting Lineups and Depth Charts for Game 3 (May 25)
The Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers continue their 2024 NBA Eastern Conference finals in Indianapolis on Saturday. The Celtics, up 2-0, are in a comfortable position after defending home court in Games 1 and 2. Meanwhile, the Pacers are reeling after Game 2’s 126-110 loss saw star man Tyrese Haliburton make an injury exit.
The Pacers’ chances of bouncing back seem bleak with Haliburton not available. Boston has been too dominant and talented for the Pacers to outplay, making it the favorite to win again to take a commanding 3-0 series lead.
After their Game 1 slip-up, the Celtics regrouped and returned to their usual form on both ends of the floor behind Jaylen Brown’s 40-point burst. The All-Star had 24 points in the first half as he carried the Celtics’ charge, with Jayson Tatum struggling after tallying only four points on 2 of 8 shots in that stretch.
Brown added five rebounds and two assists while shooting 51.9%, including four 3s. Tatum recovered in the second half, totaling 23 points on the night, with six rebounds and five assists. Despite a streaky offensive night, he ensured to keep the defensive intensity up.
Meanwhile, the Pacers got a 28-point, five-rebound effort from Pascal Siakam on 13 of 17 shots. Tyrese Haliburton had 10 points and eight assists in 24 minutes before his injury exit, while Andrew Nembhard finished with 16 points. No other Pacers player made significant contributions.
