Boston Celtics Will Represent The Eastern Conference

The Boston Celtics completed the sweep on Monday night after their 105-102 comeback victory over the Indiana Pacers to win the Eastern Conference finals. The Celtics return to the NBA Finals for the second time in three seasons.

In the final minute of Game 4, Brown blocked Indiana's Andrew Nembhard's layup attempt on defense and made the pass to Derrick White for a go-ahead 3-pointer that put the Celtics ahead.

After going 64-18 in the regular season, Boston's dominance continued in the postseason, becoming the eighth team in NBA history to start the playoffs 12-2 or better.
