BOSTON (AP) --- Jaylen Brown had 30 points and 10 rebounds and the Boston
Celtics opened a 23-point first-half lead before coasting to a 119-104 victory
over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.
Sam Hauser hit five 3-pointers, scoring 17 points for Boston, and Neemias Queta
had 17 points and nine rebounds. The Celtics bounced back from Monday night's
one-point loss at Eastern Conference-leading Detroit.
Pascal Siakam had 32 points and 10 rebounds for the Pacers, who had won four of
seven games since losing 13 in a row in December and January. Jarace Walker
scored 19 points off the bench for Indiana.
Hauser hit his first three attempts from 3-point range --- two of them in the
game's first 68 seconds. The Celtics led 57-34 with 3:22 left in the second
quarter, but Indiana cut the deficit to nine in the third before Anfernee
Simons hit a 3-pointer.
The Pacers never got back within single digits.
New Red Sox pitcher Ranger Surez, who was in town to announce his five-year,
$130 million contract at Fenway Park on Wednesday, sat courtside with agent
Scott Boras and received a nice reception when they were shown on the
scoreboard.
