INDIANAPOLIS (AP) --- Jaylen Brown scored 30 points and the Boston Celtics made
20 3-pointers in a 140-122 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Friday night.
The All-NBA forward, who is averaging 29.4 points, shot 13 of 20 from the field
and made two 3-pointers. Payton Pritchard added 29 points, making three 3s, and
grabbed nine rebounds.
The Celtics were 20 of 39 from beyond the arc compared to the Pacers' 18 of 44.
Reserve Sam Hauser was 7 for 8 behind the arc and scored 23 points, while
Derrick White added 21 points with three 3s.
The Celtics (19-11), winners of four in a row and back-to-back games against
Indiana, were starting a five-game road trip.
Andrew Nembhard led the Pacers (6-25) with 18 points and four 3s.
The Celtics trailed by 15 midway through the first quarter, but methodically
chipped away at the deficit, then pulled away with six 3-pointers in a 47-point
second quarter for a 75-61 halftime lead.
