All hail the Eastern Conference champions, Boston Celtics! Jason Tatum (JT) and team swept the Indiana Pacers on Monday night in a close game matchup. Of the four games, only one had a double-digit difference. That is to say that the Pacers intensely fought back despite Tyrese Halliburton’s absence. Tyrese suffered an injury in Game 2 and missed the rest of the games with Boston.

Kudos to Indiana, Eastern’s number 5, for giving the division (and League’s) number 1 a run. Who knows maybe the outcome would have been different had Tyrese not had the injury.

Celtics now await the winner of ongoing Western Conference match between Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks. Dallas currently leads at 3-1. Game 5 will be played tomorrow.

This season has been very interesting to watch. It would be equally interesting to watch the League Finals and moreso what team emerges as the champion.

The defending champions, Denver Nuggets, were defeated by Minnesota Timberwolves (4-3) in Round 7.
