Miraculous… or just-plain-lucky??
Pick your poison.

The Boston Celtics stunned, ah, just about everybody with a 133-128 OT win against the Indiana Pacers.

The Pacers needed only to successfully inbounds the ball in the waning seconds of regulation and they WIN Game 1… in Boston.
They threw it away.

No offense to Celtics radio man Sean Grande, crunch time in this crazy finish was only befitting of the legendary Johnny Most.

“The Pacers throw it way!”

“Jaylen Brown hits a corner 3 with a Pacers player draped all over him!”

“Pacers coach Rick Carlisle has lost his mind.. the Ghosts of the Boston Garden Greats have arrived not a moment too soon.”

“Red Auerbach is out there somewhere and you know his lighting a victory cigar.”

Celtics up 1-0. File under: Garden Gift.

Tonight:
Florida in OT.
T- Wolves.

Amazing resilience shown by the townspeople of Greenfield, Iowa after yesterday’s devastating tornadoes. The news-clips are hard to watch.
WHO TV/Des Moines’ Jason Parkin did an incredible job. His live voiceovers were incredible and evenly delivered. Hard to do we can only imagine amid the impending doom approaching and the immediate obliteration you’ve just witnessed.
