BOSTON — The Boston Celtics have plenty of time to rest up and get healthy for the NBA Finals after they finished off a four-game sweep of the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals on Monday night.
Celtics fans will now have to wait more than a week for the NBA Finals to begin, with Game 1 slated to be contested on Thursday, June 6.
Monday’s big win marked the second time in the last three years that Boston has punched a ticket to the Finals. The Celtics are hopeful of capturing the franchise’s 18th championship.
Boston will square off with the winner of the Dallas Mavericks-Minnesota Timberwolves series. Dallas, led by former Celtics guard Kyrie Irving, leads the Wolves three games to none in the Western Conference Finals.
