NBA 2018/19: 3 Talking points from Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers

#1. Celtics take No. 4 spot as Hayward shoots 9-of-9

Washington Wizards v Boston Celtics

Gordon Hayward made all the nine shots he took, as he added 21 points to the scoreboard. In the process, he became the first player to score all his shots and score above 20 points. Before him, Kevin McHale achieved this feat with the Celtics in 1986. Hayward's shooting helped the team comeback and take the lead early in the second half.

Boston Head Coach Brad Stevens praised Hayward after the game, he said, "Hayward is playing really well, he's attacking with great physicality. That's what he does. He's still not forcing anything that's not there. It's good that he's playing this way."

With the victory, the Celtics have won three games against the Pacers this season and broke a tie for fourth place in the Eastern Conference.

Boston will host Orlando Magic whereas the Pacers will face the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday
