1. It was such a good closeout from Siakam it forced Jaylen Brown into the coffin corner part of the court where you have to worry about hitting the side of the backboard.
2. By the time Siakam got there, Brown was already getting into his shooting motion. It’s too risky to foul – 12:09 AM

The Pacers gave the Celtics everything they could handle & more here at TD Garden
But thanks to a heroic shot by Jaylen Brown and a tight defensive effort in overtime, the Celtics just grabbed a 1-0 series lead in the ECF

Perfect start to ECF Game 1, but Indiana should’ve won. You have to get 🏀 inbounds. Have to foul up 3. Terrific shot to tie it from Jaylen Brown, but that Pacers loss was self-inflicted. – 11:04 PM

Heck of an effort by the Pacers. Glass half full game. They can go toe to toe with this group and stay with them. Jaylen Brown saved the Celtics at the end of regulation with the forced turnover and the three. Before that, Boston was back to their crowded ISO nonsense – 11:03 PM

Lol at Jaylen Brown telling Lisa Salters that the play to hit the 3 at the end of regulation went exactly as planned to get him a wide open 3, right as ESPN is showing him falling over as Siakam is right in his face. – 11:03 PM

The Celtics finally get an insane win in this postseason. Jayson Tatum still is ice cold shooting, but he hit the big one to clinch the victory and his aggressiveness and composure in overtime was massive. Jrue Holiday and Jaylen Brown had some major defensive moments to get them – 11:01 PM

Pacers fail to execute late and then Jaylen Brown nails an incredibly tough corner 3 in front of the Pacers’ bench to force OT — tied at 117.
Pacers are 1-1 this season in OT, including a playoff win in Game 3 v Bucks. But it shouldn’t be necessary. – 10:39 PM

What an insane game.
An unbelievable pass by Jrue Holiday to Jaylen Brown in the corner, Pascal Siakam has a chance to foul – but doesn’t – and Brown fires in a missile to tie this game with 5.7 seconds to go.
Indiana, once again, does not foul up 3 in the playoffs and pays. – 10:36 PM

Jaylen Brown was 0/2 from three. He just hit what might be their biggest 3 of the season so far. Celtics tie it up with 5.7 left after messing up the late game execution and catching an incredible break. – 10:36 PM
