Pacers 133, Celtics 131

INDIANAPOLIS — Bennedict Mathurin scored 26 points including a pair of free throws with 0.6 seconds remaining and the Indiana Pacers rallied to beat the Boston Celtics.

Mathurin was fouled by Kristaps Porzingis on a 3-pointer. The call was reviewed and upheld. Mathurin sank the first two free throws and missed the third on purpose. He finished 8 of 15 from the field, including five 3-pointers, as Indiana split a two-game home series against the top team in the Eastern Conference.

The Pacers (21-15) played much of the game without All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton, who strained his left hamstring when he slipped and did the splits on a drive in the second quarter. He was carried to the locker room by two teammates.

All-Star Jaylen Brown scored a seasonhigh 40 points for the Celtics (28-8), who were without leading scorer Jayson Tatum, sitting out with a left ankle sprain. Jrue Holiday scored 21 points and Porzingis had 19 for Boston.
