David West hit two free throws with 31.2 seconds remaining in overtime to lift the Indiana Pacers to a 107-103 win over a Boston Celtics team that continued shuffling its roster on Friday.
The Celtics played without leading scorer Jeff Green amid reports that the forward will be traded to Memphis in exchange for veteran Tayshaun Prince and a future first-round draft pick. Boston did deal Brandan Wright just prior to tip-off, sending the reserve center to Phoenix for a protected 2015 first- round choice.
Despite their absences, the Celtics fought back from a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit to force overtime on Avery Bradley's triple with 4.3 seconds to go in regulation.
Roy Hibbert shook off a sprained ankle to lead the Pacers with 19 points and 11 rebounds, while C.J. Miles tallied 17 points off the bench and C.J. Watson finished with 15 along with eight boards.
Bradley scored 16 of his game-high 23 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, but his efforts weren't enough to prevent Boston's eighth loss in 10 games.
