PACERS ELIMIINATED IN A BLOWOUT
Celtics 110, Pacers 90: Boston completed its first-round upset of the third-seeded Pacers with a blowout victory in Game 6 Thursday FleetCenter. The Celtics jumped out to an 18-point lead in the first quarter and maintained a double-digit margin the rest of the way.
GAME 5: PACERS 93, CELTICS 88
Though they still trail the Celtics 3-2 even after a Ron Artest-led overtime victory on Tuesday night in Game 5, the Pacers may be pushing Boston's weary starters past their point of no return. Artest had a game-high 26 points while harassing Boston's Paul Pierce into a 5-of-21 shooting night.
GAME 4: CELTICS 102, PACERS 92
After a strong first half, the Pacers struggled in the second and fell behind 3-1 in the best-of-seven first-round playoff series in Boston on Sunday. Jermaine O'Neal scored a team-high 25 and Brad Miller added 21 for Indiana, which returns home for Game 5 at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.
GAME 3: CELTICS 101, PACERS 83
After cutting a 16-point first-quarter deficit to four at halftime, Indiana missed 21 of its first 23 shots in the second half, allowing Boston to pull away for an easy victory in Game 3 of the first-round playoff series. The Celtics take a 2-1 lead into Game 4 on Sunday.
ARTEST MAKING DEFENSIVE STATEMENT
Though he finished second to Detroit's Ben Wallace in Defensive Player of the Year balloting, Pacers forward Ron Artest still believes he's the best individual defender in the league.
GAME 2: PACERS 89, CELTICS 77
Reggie Miller seized the moment once again, making big baskets at key times to help the Pacers beat the Celtics in Game 2 and draw even in their first-round playoff series Monday at Conseco Fieldhouse.
GAME 1: CELTICS 103, PACERS 100
Paul Pierce took over down the stretch as Boston rallied from a 13-point deficit to surprise the Pacers and steal homecourt advantage with a victory in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series Saturday in Conseco Fieldhouse.
