Boston 133, Indiana 128 (OT)

Celtics lead Eastern finals 1-0

The Pacers may have left a series on the floor. Pascal Siakam’s non-foul might be too much to overcome. Boston won’t give up a third consecutive Game 2 at home, this was Indiana’s best chance to upend the Eastern championship and yet it couldn’t dribble long enough to secure a win.

Ah, there we go, doubting these Farmboys. They’re still getting used to the city, flying in from New York on Sunday. Game 1 felt like a regular season road game, they’ll find rhythm once they wake up in the same hotel room for a second morning in a row.

They’ll wake up and wish they’d never set that alarm.
