In a nail-biting contest, the Indiana Pacers (21-15) clinched a 133-131 victory against the Boston Celtics (28-8) as Bennedict Mathurin’s 26 points, including crucial free throws in the final moments, sealed the win.
The Pacers rallied after Tyrese Haliburton (7 points, 6 assists in 13 minutes of play) suffered a hamstring injury, showcasing resilience against the Celtics.
Haliburton’s unfortunate hamstring injury in the second quarter led to a tense moment for the Pacers, but they regrouped, and Mathurin emerged as the hero, sinking deciding free throws with just 0.6 seconds left.
