The Boston Celtics defeated the Indiana Pacers 126-110 in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals to take a 2-0 lead. The game was close in the first quarter, with the Pacers leading by two points. Things began to change at the start of the second period with Boston's 17-0 run.

Jaylen Brown led the run for the Celtics before Pascal Siakam kept the Pacers afloat and trimmed the deficit to just six points at halftime. However, Boston took control of the second half after Jayson Tatum came alive following a lackluster first half.

It was a double blow for the Pacers due to Tyrese Haliburton's potential injury. He suffered a lower left leg injury in the third quarter while guarding Tatum. He left the game and went to the locker room to get evaluated. He was later ruled out for the rest of the game.
