Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers Full Game Highlights | Oct 30 | 2025 NBA Season

First meeting of the season between these two and we're underway. Nembhardt beat White to the basketball and scores the bucket. Siakam back out to Nembhardt. Crosses on Tatum. Good hands by Horford to tip it away. Boston with possession. Great pass. Brown lays it home and what a look by Holliday. Needle threaded. Brown, straight line drive, misses the lefty leg. And here's Halliburton. Halliburton coming off a 19-point game. Inside to Jackson. Good look. A double-team Tatum. Defense in rotation. Brown on the show-and-go. Great spin and fire. Bucket. And you're down by the elbow. You're not given any help in the post. You're just giving up an open three. Boy, Siakam went right at the 38-year-old Al Horford for the bucket. Just a simple side pick and roll and Horford, because he can pop, is extra dangerous. He started his career, his first eight years, he made what, 21 threes? In the last nine, he's made over 800. Out to Horford. Brown relocates. Got into the paint and the nice quick layup. Same hand, same foot layup. Jake gets them all the time, doesn't it? Tatum off a nice brush screen. Couldn't get the pass there. And here comes Siakam. Jackson raises up and set it with his chest. Peyton Pritchard is a competitor. He's already got 19 threes on the young year. Terrific play to break that up by Cornette, but Jackson really stuck with him. Off the short roll, it's Pritchard. Good defense by Ben Matheran, who just checked into the ball game for the basers. Off the deflection, it's Jalen Brown. Got that punch by Jackson. Friday game on ESPN with Orlando Cleveland at seven. I'd like to see Paolo go back to back 50 pieces. I don't know about you, Jake. Boy, it was ridiculous that game he had against Indiana. Here's McConnell. Shot clock down to three for Toppin, has to pull and he hits nothing but net. McConnell and it's picked off by Tatum. Lost the handle, got it back and punched it home. Get your point across if you're coach. That's what Rick Carlow was saying. They do defensive rebounding drills today in practice. Tatum, line drive, never had a chance. Relocates, gets it back. Butter. Boy, those are crushing. Just crushing. And here's White with two seconds. It'll count. Toppin! With a little dynamite. In Indiana, when they get a rebound, they are passing ahead quickly and getting down the floor. And a good open look, Jay, from Siakam, who drills the three. Matherin in transition, blocked by Brown. What a play by Jalen Brown to save a layup. Here's Houser with a nice cut, slams it home. His teammates invariably look for him now and it's become a real thing. That plus the fact that a lot of guys don't want to take that shot at the end of the shot clock or at the end of the period. Good help defense by Brown for the block. And back-tapped at the other end. Matherin will have some room service. There's the post-up by Holliday. Couldn't get the shot to go around his Olympic teammate. Toppin on the move inside Siakam. Got it. One minute to go in the first half. Lead is at 11. Tatum got an open three. And it's wet. Nesmith ghosts the screen. Halliburton with a tough floater. Got it. Found nothing but net. Here's Halliburton off the flat ball screen. A little pick and pop with Siakam. And Siakam on a fish grease alert. He's starting to cook a little bit. Bigger players. He guarded Cade Cunningham when they played the Pistons. He's guarding Jason Tatum right now. Brown in his bag and it's Gucci. Wow. What a shot by Jalen Brown. He's up to 14 here. I think the NBA is finding the exact right balance of physicality and freedom of movement. It might've shifted a little bit too much in the offense's favor, but that's changed thus far this year. Tough pass to Horford. One more to Holliday. Step back three by Holliday. Pure. What a player. Wow. Timeout at that position. Holliday threw it away. Pacers have numbers three on two. Matherin in transition. Count it. Got some muscle in his hustle. Matherin back to Siakam. One more to Halliburton. Lets it fly and it's wet. Jay Smith on the dribble handoff over to Matherin. Tatum switches onto him. Ben Matherin just doesn't care. Not tonight. He has smoke for everybody. Tillman on an island vacation, but couldn't convert. Halliburton looking much more aggressive. Got it. It's not quite as proficient as they were defensively in terms of the defensive rating yet. Topping inside. Oh, a traffic jam. Has whittled it down to 14 and a steal at the defensive end, but a giveaway, Shepard, Siakam. Nice extra look inside and Toppin punches it home. But Boston has missed so many essential layups. McConnell inside. Matherin with the follow-up. Communication cross there for Indiana. Got away with it. Celtics had them in the blender. And Toppin, blind charter tonight. I'm sure when Boston looks at the film to this point in the game, they'll see so many missed opportunities. You know, missed layups. And here's Brown. Brown muscled right through and over Matherin. Thoughtful human being that is doing a ton in the community, not only for small business, but philanthropically. Leads still at 16, under five minutes to go. Tatum sprays it out to White for three. Got it. Tatum against Nismith. Tween, tween, step back three. Got it. He is, he's a superstar. White from deep, laces the three. White against Matherin. Got him in the air. And cashed out. Matherin playing with his food, almost got ripped. The steal. Brown at the other end, takes flight. And the surging defense by the Celtics for Indiana. Off the Seahawks green, Halliburton wins the game. With the yo-yo move, got it. Tyrese, three point ball game. Wonder if the Pacers will foul or not here. For the tie, Tatum! By White with 13 on the clock. Halliburton over Cade, a tough shot. Tyrese Halliburton has shown up. Tatum with the mismatch, now they double him. White, they put the Pacers in rotation and McConnell was just a second too late. Richard on McConnell, on the baseline, five on the shot clock. Sprays it out to Matherin, baseline drive, and the reverse! 39.7 to go, Boston up by a bucket, Halliburton to trigger. Goes into Siakam, working against Brown in the mid post. Got to his spot, knocks it down and ties the game. Siakam with the goal screen. Brown switches onto Halliburton, Siakam for the lead, got him! Pacers lead! Here's Brown for the tie, that's going to be off. And there's the old okie dokie, Tyrese Halliburton.
