Brown's 40-Point Performance Lifts Celtics to 2-0 Series Lead.

The Boston Celtics secured a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals after a convincing 126-110 victory against the Indiana Pacers.

After a subpar performance in game one, the Celtics bounced back at TD Garden, with Jaylen Brown delivering a stellar 40-point performance, matching his playoff best.

Brown's absence from the All-NBA selection didn't deter his impact on the Celtics, who also saw contributions from Jayson Tatum and Derrick White, each scoring 23 points.

Coach Joe Mazzulla remarked on Brown's mindset, emphasizing his focus on winning over individual accolades.

Unfortunately, the Pacers faced a setback with star player Tyrese Haliburton leaving the game due to a left hamstring injury in the third quarter. 

Despite Pascal Siakam's strong performance with 28 points for Indiana, the team must remain focused in the ongoing best-of-seven series.
