LOS ANGELES: Jaylen Brown scored 40 points to propel Boston to a 126-110 victory over Indiana and a 2-0 lead in the NBA Eastern Conference finals over a Pacers team rocked by an injury to Tyrese Haliburton.
Brown tied a career playoff high to help the top-seeded Celtics break their Game-2 jinx.
Winners of a league-best 64 regular-season games, Boston had dropped the second game before prevailing in each of the first two rounds.
But they head to Indianapolis for Game 3 on Saturday in control of the best-of-seven series.
