Al Horford (sick) Jaylen Brown (concussion) out for Celtics vs. PacersBy: Jared Weiss Jaylen Brown was already out with a concussion, but Al Horford is a late scratch for Sunday’s matchup between the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers due to illness.Al Horford is out sick Sunday in the Boston Celtics’ final game of the season against the Indiana Pacers, leaving a big hole in the starting lineup that is already without a concussed Jaylen Brown. Marcus Morris and Smart will fill in, matching up perfectly against Thaddeus Young and Victor Oladipo respectively. Horford hosted an event at Dave and Busters Saturday, but then fell ill and was ruled out for Sunday’s game. “He’s in bed, hurting,” Stevens said. “That’s all I know. I don’t know. I guess it was a fever, but he tried to come and he was told to stay home.” As for Brown, he’ll be out for at least the next week, missing at least Wednesday’s game against the Washington Wizards and Friday’s game at Orlando. Boston then heads to New Orleans a week from today before coming home to play the Thunder on Tuesday the 20th. If all goes smoothly, there’s a chance Brown could be cleared from the concussion protocol for one of the games before Boston starts their final west coast swing in two weeks. celticswire.usatoday.com/2018/03/11/al-horford-sick-jaylen-brown-concussion-out-for-celtics-vs-pacers/

Oladipo picks off the Smart bounce pass to Baynes but Morris does likewise to Joseph and scores
Tatum goes baseline and gets fouled ...
Smart steals the ball but can't lasso it as he slides down the floor and may have injured his thumb on the play ...
Oly gets the loose ball and scores the layup ...

C's have lost their momentum with no Irving since the half ... I didn't see him get hurt and haven't heard a report why he hasn't come back this half.
That's allowed the Pacers to go on a 14-3 run ..
