The Celtics will have a chance to complete a first-round sweep of the Pacers on the road in Game 4. Here’s how to watch.
The first-round series between the Celtics and Pacers appears to be rapidly coming to a close. Indiana has dropped the first three games, including Game 3 on their home floor. They’ll have another chance to pick up a win at home but they’ve managed just 91.9 points per 100 possessions against Boston so far and their hopes for a first-round upset are basically nil at this point. It sounds harsh, but right now they’re really playing for pride.
The Celtics, on the other hand, are looking for a deep playoff run and Game 4 is another chance to keep working out the kinks that may hold them back against more difficult opponents. Jayson Tatum and Kyrie Irving have both been fantastic. Obviously, the defense has been sensational. Boston finally got Jaylen Brown going in Game 3 with a 23-point performance and 4-of-5 from behind the arc. But if they can keep working out the rough spots in their rotation and perhaps build Gordon Hayward’s offensive confidence a bit they’ll be in a lot better shape as they head towards a likely second-round matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Below is everything you’ll need to watch Game 4.

Indiana has had a wonderful season considering they lost Victor Oladipo to injury and were forced to replace the center of their offensive attack. But with a roster loaded with upcoming free agents this may be the last chance to see this team work in their present form. Enjoy it while it lasts.
