Kyrie hits game-winner vs. Pacers

We've seen clutch moments from Kyrie Irving before, and he added another one to his list on Friday. With the score tied, Irving made a slick move which led to the game-winning layup with 0.5 seconds left against the Pacers.

Lillard drops 36 in win over Hawks

Damian Lillard has had no problem picking up the offensive slack with CJ McCollum out of the lineup. Lillard scored 36 points and dished out seven assists as the Blazers sailed to victory over the Hawks in Atlanta.

Baynes throws it down

Aron Baynes isn't known for his offensive prowess, but he used his powerful frame to finish this dunk between two Pacers on Friday night.

Celtics have full lineup vs. Pacers

We don't know the full starting lineup of the Celtics for tonight's matchup versus the Pacers, but we do know they'll have their full roster versus Indiana. Kyrie Irving will play and be in the starting lineup.

Brad Stevens not revealing starters, except to say that Kyrie Irving will be in the first unit. Startling revelation there. The Celtics are all available.
