Celtics 119, Pacers 104

 

Jaylen Brown got a 30-point, 10-rebound double double and the Celtics outrebounded the Pacers, 54-42, but the two teams were tied with 12 three-pointers each and Hugo González got only 10:46 minutes of playing time. 

But it's the Pacers, and you don't exactly have to bring your A-game to win in Indiana, and the Celtics walked away with a 15-point victory. 

The Celtics (27-16) are in first place in the Atlantic Division, 1½  games ahead of the Knicks and 5½ back from Detroit in the Eastern Conference. They have another easy game tomorrow in Brooklyn against the 12-30 Nets, who just lost a game to the Knicks by 54 points.
