The Indiana Pacers will host the Boston Celtics on Saturday night in an Eastern Conference showdown.Both teams will be playing their second game in as many nights. The Pacers (4-5) continue to be a tale of two teams. Theyve yet to win on the road in five attempts but havent lost at home (4-0). It will be the first of three matchups this season with the Celtics.Both teams made changes to their starting lineups on Friday. The Pacers inserted C.J. Miles into the lineup and moved Monta Ellis to the second unit. For Boston, Brad Stevens moved Kelly Olynyk and Marcus Smart into the lineup with Brown and Zeller coming off the bench.The Pacers have played two consecutive overtime games this week, both against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers picked up their first victory of the season Friday night at the expense of Indiana.One player who wont be bothered by the back-to-back games is Myles Turner. He was limited to 20 minutes on Friday night because foul trouble. He eventually fouled out and finished with just five points on the night.I was never able to establish any sort of rhythm, Turner told The Indianapolis Star. Once I got out there, it was like I was right back out. I let the team down.Coach Nate McMillan knows his team let one get away. The things that you need to do to win a ballgame, we didnt do, he said.The Celtics snapped a three-game losing streak on Friday as they trounced the Knicks 115-87, evening their record at 4-4 on the season. Thats the way we should play, Brad Stevens said after the win. I thought our whole team played better, but we still have work to do.Boston was able to get to the line 43 times, more than doubling their season high to this point.Isaiah Thomas led the way with 29 points, and figures to be a tough matchup for Indiana. Thomas didnt shoot well in four games last season against the Pacers (39 percent), but with George Hill playing on another team, Indiana has struggled with guard penetration so far this season.Slow starts have plagued the Celtics in the early going this season, but they put up 31 points in the first quarter this time around.If we didnt come out like that, we were probably going to lose again, Thomas said.The Pacers and Celtics have both shot well from behind the arc this season. They each came into Friday nights games tied for third in the NBA, shooting 37.8 percent from deep.Both of these teams were predicted by many to be in the top half of the Eastern Conference playoff picture. The slow starts for each make for an intriguing early November game.The Celtics are once again expected to be without Al Horford (concussion) and Jae Crowder (sprained left ankle). The Pacers will be without Rodney Stuckey (hamstring).Wes Hopkins Youth Jersey .

LOUIS -- St. Dallas Goedert Eagles Jersey .ca! Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head. In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious.GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Even with two road points secure, Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien was far from happy Saturday night.This wasnt a game I was accustomed to the last week or so, Julien said after Bostons 2-1 win over the Arizona Coyotes. We cant be satisfied with just two points. We have to be able to play better. We looked like a team that thought it would be an easy night.David Pastrnak got his team-leading 10th goal, Ryan Spooner also scored and Tuukka Rask stopped 31 shots for the Bruins, who have won three of their last four overall and nine straight against Arizona.Boston has not lost to the Coyotes since Oct. 9, 2010, during a season-opening series in Prague.Radim Vrbata scored a power-play goal and Louis Domingue made 27 saves for the Coyotes, who have lost two straight and three of their past four.Its a game of inches and right now were just a little bit behind, Domingue said. Weve got to start with ourselves, look in the mirror and know we can do better. Were last in the league -- were not there now, but weve been there a long time. Weve just got to find common ground and work as a team.Boston dominated play in the first period, generating multiple scoring chances off Coyotes turnovers but failing to score.The Bruins finally broke through to lead 1-0 at 7:54 of the second. David Backes passed from behind the net to Zdeno Chara just above the circles, and Spooner redirected his shot past Domingue for his third goal.Hes got a bomb, Spooner said. I was kind of scared standing there but Im glad it went into the back of the net.Pastrnak made it 2-0 just under two minutes later, taking a pass from Brad Marchand off the right boards and beating Domingue from the top of the righht circle.ddddddddddddPastrnak is tied for second in the league in goals, trailing only Winnipeg rookie Patrik Laine.Marchand had a chance to extend the lead further with 5:27 left in the period but was stopped on a partial breakaway by a Domingue pad save.Vrbata cut the Bruins lead to 2-1 with 7:55 left, firing a shot from the left that bounced off the left post, into Rasks body and back into the net.Arizona mustered only a handful of scoring chances during the first two periods. The Coyotes best chance came early in the second period when Max Domi took control of a rebound in the low slot and pushed the puck flush against the left post before it was cleared.Our execution was just poor, Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. We turned over a lot of pucks and brought some problems on ourselves. We pushed in the third but it wasnt enough.Game notesVrbata has five points in his last four games. He tied David Ellett for 16th place on the franchises career scoring list with his 299th career point. ... Charas assist was the 400th of his career. ... Coyotes D Michael Stone returned to the lineup after missing six games with an upper-body injury. Stone has missed nine of Arizonas first 13 games because of injury. ...
