INDIANAPOLIS — Pascal Siakam scored the last of his 29 points on a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 6.1 seconds left in overtime to give the Indiana Pacers a 135-132 victory over the previously unbeaten Boston Celtics. Siakam tied his single-game career high with six 3s and grabbed 11 rebounds. Bennedict Mathurin scored 21 of his season-high 30 points in the second half. Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 37 points, helping Boston rally from a 19-point fourth-quarter deficit to force overtime. But after taking a 132-130 lead with 39.7 seconds left, Siakam scored five straight points. Jaylen Brown's 3 in the waning seconds was off the mark.
