J. Michael Falgoust @ThisIsJMichael
If I woulda/coulda…. Pacers should be up 2-1. Thought this would go at least 6. Haliburton or no Haliburton. – 11:10 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
With Haliburton out, Nembhard and McConnell have combined for 53 points, 12 rebounds and 15 assists. And they’re doing it against two all-defense guards. – 10:53 PM

Tyrese Haliburton was loving it 👏

Indiana scored 42 points in the paint during the first half. That’s an absurd number. The most the Celtics gave up this season was 70 … to the Pacers without Haliburton, back in early November. Boston still won that game 155-104. Don’t think the Celtics will win this one by 51. – 9:49 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Strange #Celtics half strategically, but what a half of shot-making and offensive execution by the #Pacers. Said it over and over again last 2 days, drop-off isn’t massive without Haliburton. – 9:43 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Halftime: Pacers 69, Celtics 57
Andrew Nembhard buries a triple at the buzzer to push the Pacers back up by double-digits.
Nembhard has 21 points and 5 assists, filling in superbly for Tyrese Haliburton.
Jayson Tatum has 20 for Boston, which is again getting roasted inside. – 9:42 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Pacers were committed tonight to Nembhard stepping up in the Haliburton role and continuing to run their system. He’s having one of the best games of his career so far. – 9:40 PM
Cameron Tabatabaie @CTabatabaie
Kind of like the Cavs without Mitchell, the Pacers without Haliburton are significantly better on defense – 9:39 PM
Evan Sidery @esidery
The Pacers are putting together an offensive clinic without Tyrese Haliburton.
When Indiana’s offense gets in rhythm, they are so tough to contain. – 9:38 PM
Tom Westerholm @Tom_NBA
Joe Mazzulla always talks about how defense starts with offense, and it’s a lot easier for the Celtics to score when Haliburton is on the floor. – 9:38 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Pacers are up 48-40, their biggest lead of the series so far.
Joe Mazzulla pregame on the idea that the Pacers will let up with Haliburton out: “I think the first thing to a let up is everyone has an expectation that it’s supposed to go a certain way, because the other team is – 9:30 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
#Pacers had the system, backup guards & tonight, the matchups to stay competitive and they’re taking advantage of them. The numbers said all year the drop-off without Haliburton isn’t huge. Looks like we still got a series game-to-game for now. – 9:15 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
After 1: Celtics 32, Pacers 31
Jayson Tatum has a terrific opening 12 minutes for Boston, scoring 15 points – including hitting a couple of 3s – to lead the Celtics, while Pascal Siakam had 11 to lead Indiana without Tyrese Haliburton. – 9:09 PM
Cameron Tabatabaie @CTabatabaie
Haliburton dressed like Arthur the Aardvark tonight – 9:05 PM
Cameron Tabatabaie @CTabatabaie
This Pacers team was the second best offense in NBA history, even with Haliburton missing extended time, but there is something uninspiring about the way Celtics defense has started games this series – 8:55 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Game 3 at 8:30pm. Pacers 11-0 at home last two months.

There is “real doubt” Tyrese Haliburton will return in the Eastern Conference Finals, per @wojespn.
The Pacers will have to attempt to pull off a miracle comeback without their All-NBA point guard. pic.twitter.com/bPLOdlksXM – 8:21 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Tyrese Haliburton is officially out for Game 3, his first absence since his original left hamstring injury in Jan. Pacers were 7-6 without him this season.

More on this storyline
Tony East: No update from Rick Carlisle on Tyrese Haliburton today. The Pacers looked at some stuff on both ends that Carlisle deemed correctable while also running through the positives they hope to continue doing well. -via Twitter @TonyREast / May 26, 2024
Jay King: Joe Mazzulla said without Tyrese Haliburton it took the Celtics a little while to find the right matchups defensively. “We talk about it all the time: It takes what it takes.” He said it took the Celtics by surprise they fell behind the way they did but he liked how they fought out -via Twitter @ByJayKing / May 25, 2024
“[The Pacers] are not going to put him in a position where if he went out and played, it’s going to look like OG Anunoby in Game 7 for the Knicks against Indiana, where he was so limited in what he could do,” Wojnarowski said of Haliburton. -via nbcsportsboston.com / May 25, 2024
