The game between the Boston Celtics and the Indiana Pacers is still rolling, but Payton Pritchard and Neemias Queta have already delivered one of the night’s biggest early moments. In the first quarter, they ran a smooth pick-and-roll that turned into a jaw-dropping alley-oop. Pritchard floated the lob high toward the rim. Queta exploded upward, caught it in full stretch, and slammed it home with authority. He lost his balance and went down after the dunk, but he quickly got back up to defend again.
