The Celtics can close out the Eastern Conference NBA play-off series on Sunday in Indianapolis. 

Tyreke Evans matched his career play-off high with 19 points for the Pacers. Bojan Bogdanovic had 15, not enough to prevent Indiana from losing its sixth straight to Boston in the regular season and play-offs though.
