Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Looked like an accidental play there by Jaylen Brown, but T.J. McConnell with a really, really hard fall and looked like he might have hit his head.
But McConnell is up and walking to the bench under his own power. – 10:17 PM

Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Jaylen Brown’s 3 was wiped off the board for a shot clock violation. Suddenly, Celtics are down 7 after Mazzulla called that early timeout. Joe isn’t making any subs after the Jays got a few minutes of rest in the 3rd. – 10:11 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Jaylen Brown’s 3-pointer to begin the 4Q has been taken away, after review during the timeout. It’s a shot-clock violation.

Jaylen Brown started 1-7 from the field, he’s 7-9 since then as he’s up to 19 points. Tatum’s also at 19 points, so if the Celtics win tonight, the East Finals MVP race should be kinda fun – 10:04 PM

Myles Turner committs an offensive foul on Derrick White, and Jaylen Brown gives him a shove in response. Turner shoved Brown much harder and had words for the Celtics wing as a result. Play being reviewed. – 9:42 PM

Evan Sidery @esidery
Andrew Nembhard is creating some real issues for Jrue Holiday, Derrick White and Jaylen Brown on the defensive end with his strength and deceleration on drives to the basket.
Nembhard has 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting at halftime for the Pacers.
