BOSTON (AP) — The Celtics entered the playoffs expecting to get everyone’s best shot. The East’s top seed barely survived a tough one to open the Eastern Conference finals.

The East’s top seed barely survived a tough one to open the Eastern Conference finals.

But guarding against complacency was also on the mind of Tatum. The Celtics have lost Game 2 in each of their previous two series.Tyrese Haliburton had 25 points and 10 assists for the Pacers, who knocked down 13 3-pointers and scored 56 points in the paint against a Celtics team still playing without 7-footer Kristaps Porzingis.

“We keep talking about protecting home court,” Celtics forward Al Horford said. “It’s whatever it takes.” “I think we always knew that there’s always a chance. We’ve seen crazy stuff happen all the time,” Holiday said. “I don’t think that we think we lost the game until we actually lost the game and that’s part of the reason why we were so resilient.”
