Aaron Nesmith failed to imitate Jaylen Brown by scoring a miraculous 3-pointer at the last second, to snatch overtime. The Celtics guard/winger saved his team during Game 1 of this conference final. His counterpart (and former teammate) did not have this honor for the Pacers during Game 3.

“We’ve had this system for a long time” assures Rick Carlisle. “It’s a scheme designed by (assistant) Mike Weinar. We've used it a few times in recent seasons, and it's given us some good shots.
