Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers Game 1 Full Highlights | 2024 ECF | FreeDawkins 

The pacers just wrapped up a gift and gave it to the celtics this game

Don’t underestimate the Pacers, they choked at the end, but they put up a fight!

I'm impressed Boston found a team that can choke a game better than them

Pacers blew the win for sure. That game was theirs.

Such a heartbreaking loss to the Pacers. I wonder why they didn't call another timeout. Even Jalen Brown admitted, after the game, that Indiana was better tonight.

4 attempts to tie the game! What a call for the REFS!

FreeDawkins the GOAT.

no travel calls in the nba those refs dont know basketball rules!!!

The pressure strikes on the Celtics from now on. They realized now that the Pacers should not be underestimated.

National Handball Association... The travelling no calls are inexcusable at this level. It is the NBA semis not fooling around with your 4 year old nephew.

I couldn't believe what I see? Is this the Pacers or Warriors of 2016. I thought it will be easier for Bostons to pass and they survived today!

Aye man if I’m a Pacers fan tears are flooding down my face.

This might by far be the most travels I’ve ever seen in an nba game 😐

That move at 4:43 is pure travel . The steps for pivot were exhausted and then took 2 steps after .

"BEAUTIFUL USE OF THE PIVOT FOOT BY BROWN". C'mon. It's a travel. 27 Celt free throws, 7 Pacers. Something is very wrong here.

Refs in 6

Big shot Jaylen Brown for the OT.. Good game for both club.

4:41 No traveling violation called. Wow and the ref was only a few feet looking.

This years playoffs have been so good, insane scoring.

Damn Haliburton was trying everything to lose this game like wtf careless turnovers, shooting threes with full clock and getting clamped by holiday presence alone wtf

Ladies and Gentlemen... Jrue Holiday 👏 👏 👏

i dont know but the NBA try so hard to push Boston to the final every year. Reff is the real MVP here

4:42 How was this not a travel?? Cmon NBA...

Mike Breen: "Give credits to the refs tonight"

Did Brown travel few times?

Refs forced OT

Hell of a game

Pacers should only fear the refs. They deserved to win this one.

referee game by tony the free throw king

BOSTON 30 FREE THROWS . PACERS 10 FREE THROWS.

Game 1 goes to OT out the gate sheesh. This is going to be a good series! Pacers were attacking OG Al all game but he stood down 10 toes. Celtics guard play helped them win it and they’ll have to be keep up the play if they want to win this series because the Pacers came to compete!

damn boston got lucky.

How can Jaylen Brown go clearly 1-2 drive to the basket from the pivot position while posting up a player and not called for traveling? Twice in these highlights alone

MVP Refs as always

Brown was fouled on the first play of the game but yet in the comments all these people crying about the ref and calls shut up you blew the game you had the Celtics dead to rights and you played dumb turning the ball over with 8 sec to go and up 3 pathetic.. 😢😢

Bro I swear brown traveled twice he legit is dribbling pulling up then taking two steps to drive HOW IS THAT NOT TRAVEL

The refs have been crap all season, but I don't want to hear any of it on this game. The Celtics are the best team at defending without fouling in the NBA and it's driven by their defensive scheme and personnel, NOT favoritism: they switch more than almost any other team in the league and rarely double/trap, leading to few fouls; and they have very disciplined defenders up and down the lineup. Every missed call for the Pacers was followed by one for the Celtics. Especially with a game this close when a C's fan can say that Tatum and White took stupid shots that should have lost them the game, the Pacers have no excuse. It's just the way it goes. On to game 2!

REFS WON GAME 1 FOR SURE 🤦🏾

All of the Tatum and Brown slander has fueled this duo even more keep it coming

Refs forced OT.

As much as I dislike the Celtics each time they hit the floor it looks like they outlast the opposing team stamina- wise. Even when they have cold shooting stretches in the game, they cover ground really quick. I hope Pacers pull off a miracle, or else its up to the West champs to bury these guys hopefully

Prichard always solid when on field

Rick Carlisle is going to need to bring his checkbook for this series, the way the refs are handling this.

now that indiana showed some strength at away court, i believe they have a shot to win the series. problem with celtics is they don't have finisher to get it done. tatum and brown are not either curry or lbj.

Refs normally try to play fairly or support one team. But this ref wanted to tie the game so hard and make the game more interesting...

This series is actually between Pacers vs the refs. 😂

crazy how good derrick white is

The Pacers took the game into their own hands. While leading 117/114, the team cannot put the ball into play and the coach does not call a time-out. If he gets it, the match is over

10 to 30 3 free throws up until the end of regulation for pacers.

Celtics about to lose. Accepted defeat. Moved on. Went back and teleported to a universe where Celtics wins game 1... 👽

Definitely agree Pacers sold this game they were up 3 10 secs in the clock ⏰ but made bone head turnovers but overall I am sure Pacers will bounce back and this was good test for the Celtics

Refs really screwed up this one for the Pacers!!!

As I said without Porzingis it won`t be walk in the park for the Celtics

Brown truly brought back life to the celtics after that corner 3 pointer

23-3 ft attempt without the ot,i am not the fan of east, but ref help Celtics so hard

Lakers wet their pants seeing the amt of free throws celtics had

I like how you include the arena scenery and the crowd at the beginning. Celtics in 7 ☘️🏀🏆🙏🏻 i don’t think the pacers are gonna make this easy on us!

Starting Five Celtics J. Tatum 0 J. Brown 7 A. Horford 42 J. Holiday 4 D. White 9 Pacers P. Siakam 43 A. Nesmith 23 M. Turner 33 T. Haliburton 0 A. Nembhard 2

Breathtaking stuff... loved it!!

SIAKAM NEEDS TO UPGRADE HIS BAG… his only move is a spin move🤦🏾

So much hate in the comments. Give the Celtics credit for grinding out a win just when things were looking bleak. Brown sent it to OT with that tough shot and Tatum put the nail in the coffin. Pacers turned the ball over in key moments and poor coaching by not fouling when up by 3.

Carlisle holding back his film of bad ref calls that show game was fixed. Until after they lose game 2. Then he’ll release them to the league. It’s his blueprint.

The Pacers are a very very good team. People have slept on them all year. Ive been impressed with the way they quietly go about their business. I knew this wouldn't be an easy series for my Celtics. The national media was giving us the sweep before it started. I knew better. This team is going to battle every minute of every game.

If you watch the whole game. The REFS won this game! LMAO!

Why didn’t they foul JB on the floor?🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

What a choke at the end.

This final conference between pacers and boston will be beautiful

man i cant believe this even went to overtime.. shouldve been indis game all the way

I mean the lack of awareness from Haliburton & the Coaching staff lost them this game. Even though the refs did everything in their power to give Celtics this win, Indiana still was going to make out with the win if they had of just managed the clock better down the stretch of regulation. ERROR 1: Haliburton chucking up a 3 while being up 3 with a minute left in the game and :15 secs left on the shot clock is just a horrible IQ decision. That missed shot lead to a foul call on Siakim off the rebound, which sent JB to FT line (BTW, that should’ve been a foul on JB, but the refs were team green tonight). ERROR 2: Hali dribbling the ball off his foot, where Nesmith dives to keep the ball in-bound but couldn’t. Haliburton has to slow down at the end of the game, especially when in the lead. Why would you be rushing, the time is on your side. Protecting the ball is more important than making a shot at that point. ERROR 3: The horrible inbound. Why are we forcing to get the ball in on their end of the court?! Call a timeout to advance the ball. These 3 bonehead plays all happened under a minute left in regulation…SMH…How do the Pacers expect to win this series playing with no sense at all. This was an atrocious loss, and it just got worse when they got into overtime. This was a total F in end game execution. And a fire-able offense. Rick better wake up!

Rick Carlisle has been coaching in the NBA for 23+ years while Mazzulla is a new coach for the last 2 years. Rick Carlisle has no game plan to beat an inexperienced coach

Dante Divenzienzo at 5:34 had me cracking hard lol

Refs gave Celtics the game with too much "errors". That's being said 30FT!

So now we know who's winning the finals by shooting 20 more FTs per game than their opponent😑

I had predicted a difficult game for my Cs. Indi had the momentum, the Celtics came from the training ground. I am not worried, they will get in game time mode (back)

Glad to see my man Jrue doing good.

i was sweating so bad when tatum starts bricking all the shots in 4th quarter. last 3 years tatum in crunch time 2021-22 season 37.2% Ranks 37th out of 47 2022-23 season 35.1% Ranks 50th out of 57 2023-24 season 31.9% Ranks 28 out of 29 this season: 5-21 fg (24%) game-tying or go-ahead fg in 4th quarter or OT

MOST COMPETITIVE ERA OF BAKSETBALL!!!!

Intense game for sure ! Well done C’s ☘️👍🏽

Refs tried so hard to make sure boston won this holy

pascal siakam had a bad game, and tyrese choked a lot. i hope the pacers can improve in game 2 and defeat the celtics.

Jaylon brown really said "just give me the bank" and he earned every cent since

30 freethrows for boston 12 for tatum alone 10 for indy What a robbery

Fun fact : Celtics have 3x free throws chances than Pacers (30-10),while Tatum 1 man free throws (12) > Pacer the whole team 🫨 First 3 quarter free throw counts : 21 - 2 What a mighty games for Referees Fmvp !🎉

This game was nuts!

Dagli highlights si direbbe essere stata una partita fantastica! Daje Celtics daje!

As a Knicks fan, thank you Celtics 🫡

The NBA just wants the referees to help Boston win the championship? I don’t want to watch NBA games anymore. Congratulations to the NBA referee team, you are the strongest team in the NBA.

You know its a good game when you get a double bang from mike

JAYLEN BROWN , BANG , BANG... Love it

Pacers will win this series. The adjustment now was revealed. The deficit is not that high and with Pacers run this season just like the wolves, they deserve the finals slot.

Refs always help celtics

The problem with the Celtics is that they are much better than their conference teams, and this is why they finish like this day their games, but you can't play like they played with a West conference team, their intensity is completely another thing. Even so, I trust that they can win this year the ring, not for being the best team in the regular season, well a part of it yes but for team depth and the rank of players, they have reasons to win this year.

epic chokejob by the pacers - the amount of mistakes they made down the stretch was hard to watch

30-10 ft? Fuck those refs. That game belongs to Indiana

I was ready to say that Pacers won despite of refs., but after that colossal choke it would be bs.

What a shot by JB, nice one finding these win was important, now just keep the head up and be better for game 2

Celtics want a championship 🏆

Haliburton carry the ball every time he takes a dribble and travels every time he takes a "step back" three.

A basketball game could only be managed this terribly. Huge congrats to the refs.

I wasn't expecting this to be a close one
