Lance Stephenson has injected life into the Pacers, he’s changed the vibe and been productive on the court. But his 10-day hardship contract expired today.
So what’s next?

Got to give credit to Sabonis for a focused, intense effort on a bad shooting night. Celtics cut off pick and rolls with Stephenson and Pacers seemed clueless how to get Sabonis in scoring position. Had 11 points, 23 rebounds and 10 assists on 3 of 12 shooting. – 10:27 PM

Finally, this one is over.
Celtics outlast the Pacers in OT, 101-98. Not pretty either way; Both shot <40%, combined for 39 TOs.
Stephenson and Craig, who led them with 19pts, were big late. Sabonis recorded his 2nd triple-double in 3gms: 11-23-10.
Up next: Rematch in Indy Wed – 10:20 PM

Lance Stephenson misses the potential game-tying 3 in OT. That basically wraps this one up. #Pacers pic.twitter.com/fAj7QeCC4b – 10:11 PM

Lance Stephenson had a clean look to tie this game back up with 10 seconds to go in overtime, but it rimmed out. Now the Celtics need Jaylen Brown to hit one free throw to finally seal away a win. – 10:11 PM

It’s pretty wild that Lance Stephenson, after all these years, is playing a huge role in a close game while on a 10-Day. – 10:10 PM

Lance Stephenson should never leave Indiana. When his playing career is over, just stay there. Indy, Pacers just seem to bring out the best version of him. – 9:51 PM

What a sequence from Lance Stephenson – sentence I didn’t expect to be typing in 2022. He buries a late shot clock 3 to put Indiana up by one, then grabs a rebound and rifles a full court pass to Oshae Brissett for an and-one dunk. Indiana leads by two now with a minute to go. – 9:51 PM

Wow, so Stephenson hits his third three, Jaylen misses one and then Brissett leaks out for a And-1. #Pacers up 4 with 1:05 left – 9:51 PM

Lance Stephenson gets a flagrant one for an elbow to the face of Dennis Schroeder on the last drive. Could be a big swing in the game, as instead of Indiana having the ball Boston will now get two free throws and then ball, with the Celtics leading by 3 with 9:25 to go. – 9:30 PM

This should just be a common offensive foul. Nothing malicious by Stephenson on that play. – 9:30 PM

A Lance Stephenson 3 (and air guitar) and a Torrey Craig layup have cut the lead to 3. Celtics call timeout up 71-68 with 9:41 left in the game. #Pacers – 9:25 PM

Lance Stephenson almost bust his ass after that last 3, playing his air guitar while trotting backward. – 9:25 PM
