History Created By Scoring-Trio Of Celtics During Game 1

Boston Celtics did not just win the game against Indiana Pacers, they also managed to do so in record breaking fashion, as this was the first time ever in the franchise's NBA history, that three players managed to score 25+ points in a Conference Finals game. Jayson Tatum was the true MVP of the Game 1, as he made 52 pts+rebounds+assists contributions, which included massive 36 points.

He was joined by clutch-player Jaylen Brown, who managed 26 points, and lastly, by Jrue Holiday, who managed to score 28 points. They were assisted by Indiana Pacers' defence, as the visitors provided the hosts with 30 free throws, which eventually, proved to be the ultimate difference.
