The NBA's two highest-scoring offenses from the 2023/24 regular season clash on Wednesday night in an Eastern Conference Finals rematch as the Boston Celtics visit the Indiana Pacers.
Boston swept the Pacers in last season's Eastern Conference Finals. In the regular season, Indiana led the NBA in scoring with 123.3 points per game, with the Celtics finishing second with 120.6 points per game.
The Celtics went on to win the NBA Championship thanks to a rotation full of solid three-point shooters, and their 42.5 three-point attempts per game in the regular season was sixth-most in NBA history. Head coach Joe Mazzulla relies on his players to win their one-on-ones, draw defenders, then find the open shooter.
The Pacers played at the second-highest pace last season, averaging 101.7 possessions per team per game. Coach Rick Carlisle built the offense around point guard Tyrese Haliburton, and he benefitted from his teammates' off-ball movement and a license to push the ball up the floor.
So far in 2024/25, the Celtics have continued where they left off while Indiana is struggling to replicate its style from last season. Boston leads the league with 126.3 points per game, while the Pacers are scoring the 18th-most points and playing at the fifth-slowest pace.
