The Boston Celtics held off a 3rd quarter surge by the Indiana Pacers to win 129-124. It took big contributions from the entire Celtics starting five, including 30 points from Jayson Tatum, 25 from Jaylen Brown, 24 from Derrick White and 17 from both Porzinigis and Holiday. It looked like the Celtics were going to pull away after a dominant first half, but the Pacers came out as the aggressors turning it into a game all the way down to the final seconds.

Chuddy and Nick discuss what they saw and respond to a call-in from the voice-mailbag for the first time on Chuddy’s Corner! All that and more from around the league.
