MANILA, Philippines – Kyrie Irving buried a driving layup with 0.5 seconds left as the Boston Celtics slipped past the Indiana Pacers, 114-112, in an NBA thriller on Friday, March 29 (Saturday, March 30, Manila time).
The game-winner capped Irving’s stellar performance of 30 points, 5 assists and 3 steals.
With the key win, the Celtics tied the Pacers for 4th place with identical 45-31 records in the Eastern Conference.
Al Horford also delivered 19 points and 7 rebounds for the Celtics, who gained a 2-1 series lead – and for now, homecourt advantage – against the Pacers, their likely playoff opponent.
KYRIE WINS IT FOR THE @CELTICS!
