What to know about the Celtics’ Eastern Conference Finals foe in the Pacers

At long last, the Celtics know who they will play with a trip to the NBA Finals on the line.

Boston will take on the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, with the Pacers punching their ticket to the third round after beating the Knicks, 130-109, in Game 7 on Sunday at Madison Square Garden.

The sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, the Pacers defeated a banged-up Bucks roster (without Giannis Antetokounmpo) in the first round before outlasting a Knicks team that was also stung by the injury bug.

Boston has not played since Wednesday after taking care of the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games during the second round.
