The Boston Celtics (34 - 41) defeated the Indiana Pacers (32 - 43) 100 - 87 on Wednesday. Evan Turner turned in his third triple - double of the season in this matchup of two teams knocking on the door of playoff births. He had 13 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds in 35 minutes of action. Turner's shot was n't falling, he went 6 - for - 17 from the floor, but obviously found other ways to help lead his team to victory. The Celtics' two - headed center approach had success against the Pacers. The tandem of Tyler Zeller and Kelly Olynyk combined for 38 points, five rebounds, five assists and two steals in 46 minutes. It was a shock that Olynyk was able to play after receiving an inadvertent elbow in the eye from Shavlik Randolph during shootaround earlier in the day. Olynyk showed true grit, and knocked three of his four shots from beyond the arc. His sight must've been just fine. The Celtics have won two very important games against the Pacers and Charlotte Hornets, the two teams they are battling with in search of reaching one of the final playoff spots. George Hill played a solid game in a losing effort; he scored a game - high 21 points to go along with six assists and six rebounds. He was on fire, hitting nine of his eleven shots from the field. He did n't get much help from his supporting cast, as the Pacers are a little banged up at the moment. C.J. Miles sprained his ankle on Tuesday but was able to score 12 points in 29 minutes on Wednesday. Rodney Stuckey has been dealing with a sore calf as well as a wrist injury he suffered over the weekend. He too was able to play. Stuckey scored 16 points to lead the Indiana bench attack in 20 minutes of play. Much like the Celtics, the Pacers have their eyes on the Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat, the two teams that hold the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics will host the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday, as the Pacers will welcome the Charlotte Hornets to town.
