Closeout games are the hardest, Tatum said after the game on Saturday, cautioning that the Celtics cannot afford to relax despite the fact that no NBA team has rallied from 0-3 down to win a playoff series.
But a three-point play by Jrue Holiday put the Celtics up 112-111 with 38.9 seconds to play, leading to a decisive steal and free throws to seal the win.
Indiana, fueled by Nembhard's 32 points, resisted despite Haliburton's absence, pushing their lead to 18 before the Celtics made a comeback.
