What's up basketball fans! I am here again @dwin0603 to give you another exciting basketball discussion for another episode of NBA Talk, and today we will have a short recap of the match between the Boston Celtics and the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of their best of 7 playoff series. Let's do this!

Kyrie Irving led the Celtics scoring 37 big points beating the Indiana Pacers, 99-91 taking a 2-0 series lead on Wednesday night. It was a close game when the Celtics suddenly made a late run to close out the Pacers in the final seconds of the fourth quarter.

Game Recap

The Indiana Pacers tried to even the series and fought back in the Garden without their superstar Victor Oladipo who missed the remainder of the regular season early after suffering a gruesome knee injury but Kyrie and his crew couldn't be held down as they keep their swag to finished off the Pacers in Game 2.

Kyrie Irving is cooking in the first period draining consecutive buckets and dishing some dimes to his teammates as Boston displayed beautiful ball movement and spacing to take an early lead. The Pacers then respond with their defense resulting in transition offense and easy layups by Bojan Bogdanovic to take back the lead. Indiana held on their lead up to the second period but Kyrie Irving displays his sweet handles and nasty crossovers while shooting the basketball so well to help the Celtics take back the lead. Jayson Tatum also had a good game shooting very well from beyond the arc.

Darren Collison started to heat up at the start of the third quarter and showed up some sweet moves driving and faking against a defender for a couple of layups. Then Bogdanovic handed him some help using his outside shooting as the Indiana Pacers regained the lead and extended it to double-digits.

Indiana's double-digit lead did not last long as Kyrie Irving and Jayson Tatum caught fire in the fourth quarter showing how good their handles are torturing their defender and scoring inside and out. Indiana can't figure out how to contain Kyrie Irving when he got the hot hands as he continuously drains buckets from beyond the arc taking the lead back to Boston.

In the last 2 minutes of the ball game, Bojan Bogdanovic hits a dagger three to take the lead. Then, in the last minute, the Pacers had the chance to make it a two-possession game leading by 2 points, Bogdanovic drives to the basket but Al Horford swatted his layup and immediately gave it to Jaylen Brown in transition who kicks out a pass for a Jayson Tatum corner three to take a 1 point lead with 50 seconds left in the clock. Indiana couldn't answer in the next possessions and the Celtics run away with it, 99-91.
