The Boston Celtics disposed of the beat-up Indiana Pacers in one of the more competitive sweeps you’ll ever see, finishing the Eastern Conference Finals in four games following Monday’s 105-102 victory.

The 27-year-old was fantastic in the series, averaging 29.8 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals per game. He put up 40 points in Game 2, a day after he was snubbed for All-NBA honors, and his game-tying three-pointer in Game 1 forced overtime, a contest the Celtics would go on to win.
