Celtics Prevail in Game One Thriller

Brown Explodes with 40 Points, Boosting Celtics to 2-0 Lead

Pacers Fall in Overtime, Celtics Push the Envelope

The Boston Celtics have triumphed in Game One of their playoff series against the Indiana Pacers, securing a hard-fought 133-128 victory in overtime. Led by a dominant performance from Jaylen Brown, who poured in a game-high 40 points, the Celtics now hold a 2-0 advantage in the series.

Brown's offensive prowess was on full display throughout the contest. With his team struggling in the early going, Brown took matters into his own hands, driving to the basket and knocking down shots from beyond the arc. His aggressive style kept the Celtics in contention, and his clutch shooting in overtime proved instrumental in securing the win.

The Pacers put up a valiant effort, with Bennedict Mathurin leading the charge with 31 points. However, their comeback attempt fell short in the extra period, as Brown and the Celtics closed out the game with a decisive run.

With Game Two of the series set for Wednesday, the Celtics will look to close out the Pacers and advance to the next round. The Pacers, on the other hand, will need a strong response to stay alive in the series.
