For the third time in four games, the Indiana Pacers held a late fourth quarter lead.

For the third time in four games, the Boston Celtics erased it. Boston rallied from an 89-82 fourth-quarter deficit Monday night to secure a 105-102 win over the Pacers for a second comeback in two games in Indianapolis.

The win secures a 4-0 series win for the Celtics and a spot in the NBA Finals.

Boston trailed for most of the fourth quarter before tying the game at 102-102 on a Jaylen Brown floater. Then Derrick White secured the first lead of the quarter at 105-102 on a 3-pointer with 43.9 seconds remaining.

It proved to be the last bucket of the game and the series as the Celtics stunned the Pacers home crowd for a second straight game.
