Pacers Fight Back in NBA Finals with Thrilling Game 3 Victory

The Indiana Pacers kept their championship hopes alive with a hard-fought win over the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. After dropping the first two games on the road, the Pacers returned home to a raucous crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, delivering a clutch performance to cut the series deficit to 2-1.

Led by a stellar outing from All-Star guard Tyrese Haliburton, who orchestrated the offense with precision, Indiana managed to hold off a late Celtics surge. Haliburton’s leadership, combined with key contributions from Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner, proved decisive in securing the must-win game.

Boston, despite another strong showing from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, struggled to contain Indiana’s offensive rhythm in critical moments. The Celtics had opportunities to tie or take the lead late but were thwarted by the Pacers’ tightened defense.

With Game 4 set to take place again in Indianapolis, the series now shifts in momentum. Can the Pacers even the series, or will the Celtics regain control on the road? The next matchup promises high stakes as both teams battle for the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
