Celtics vs Pacers Mayhem

The Celtics vs Pacers game sounds like mayhem! It is in overtime at the moment.
The end of fourth went something like this:
Indiana down by three
Oneal two free throws, makes one but Indiana get rebound
Johnson two free throws, makes one but Indiana get rebound again!
Oneal misses.
Boston ball up by one with 12 secs left.
Pierce is fouled while shooting. Somehow he also gets a tech, his second so he is ejected.
Miller makes the free throw.
Scores level.
Perkins comes on for Pierce and shoots his free throws but misses both.
Miller misses a jumper as the clock runs down
OT!

Update:
Celtics win it 92-89
Huge win for them in Indiana (even tho they did their best to lose it) and without Pierce in OT.

I am over in vegas and was just watching the game. Tinsley fouled Pierce and they got tangled up. PIerce threw his arms out and knocked Tinsley over. Pierce got a T for it, which was his second and he got ejected.
Celt's won in OT. J O'Neal missed a 10ft fade away for the win.

The Pacers were over the limit when Tins fouled Pierce. Pierce elbowed Tins, knocking him to the floor. He gets T'd up, his 2nd for the game and is ejected.
Reggie Miller makes the technical FT evening the scores.
The Pacers are allowed to choose any player from the Celtics roster to shoot the FTs. They choose Kendrick Perkins, some ~50% ft shooter who hasn't been in the game at all. He by all accounts looked terrified as he missed both fts.
Pacers have ~14 seconds to score for the win, the intend to go into JO but he fell over shortly before the pass was to be made so Reggie forced it from 30ft and missed. OT, Fatoine comes up big and makes some plays, JO had a chance to tie on his jump hook, missed. More foul shots, pacers down 3, 0.5secs left, catch and shoot is nowheren near. Celts win.
