What time is Celtics vs. Pacers on today? Game 2 TV channel, live streams for 2024 NBA playoff game

The Pacers nearly took down the Celtics in Game 1 as double-digit underdogs before unraveling down the stretch to let Boston take a 1-0 lead. And while they certainly let one slip away, the Pacers should enter Game 2 with the confidence that they can hang with the Eastern Conference's 1-seed.

Just as they did in Game 7 against the Knicks, the Pacers shot the lights out in Game 1 in Boston, hitting 13 3-pointers and shooting 53.5 percent from the field. So far this postseason, Indiana has shot 50.9 percent overall which ranks first among all playoff teams from both the East and West.

The biggest key to evening the series could be turnovers. They lost the turnover battle 22-15 in Game 1 including several critical turnovers late. Those 22 turnovers led to 32 points for Boston, enough to tip the scales in an even game with no margin for error.

Although Jayson Tatum rallied in overtime to score 10 of his game-high 36 points, the Celtics will surely need more consistency from their All-NBA performer who struggled for most of regulation. Tatum has struggled from the outside all postseason long, connecting on just 27.8 percent of his 3-pointers, easily the worst he's shot it from in the playoffs.

Can the Pacers win Game 2 and head back home tied 1-1? Or will Game 1 prove to be the jolt Boston needed to hit its stride? Here is everything you need to know about Celtics vs. Pacers, including TV and streaming options for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
