Jrue Holiday's late-game surge leads the Celtics to a 3-0 series lead

Despite being sick, Jrue Holiday made the game-winning steal and the go-ahead three-point shot with 38 seconds remaining to help the Boston Celtics overcome an eighteen-point deficit and defeat the Indiana Pacers 114-111 on Saturday night to take a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.

Jayson Tatum finished with 36 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists, matching his career high for the playoffs. The Celtics won their sixth straight playoff game and continued their winning streak on the road behind 24 points from Jaylen Brown and 23 points from Al Horford, who also made seven three-pointers. With 3.3 seconds left, Andrew Nembhard led the Pacers with a career-high 32 points when Holiday swiped the ball. Myles Turner and Pascal Siakam each ended with 22 points, while T.J. McConnell joining in with 23 points, nine rebounds, and six assists.
