Hours after their shocking appearance at the parade, Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse cause a stir in the NBA celebrity dispute at the Pacers' third game against the Celtics

The Boston Celtics will face the undermanned Indiana Pacers in a star-studded arena. The league leaders have already stamped their authority with a 2-0 record in the series. In addition, the absence of Tyrese Haliburton gave them a big advantage going into Game 3. In addition, Jayson Tatum and Co. are under pressure to put on a great show, as star couple Sprouse came to the game along with a number of celebrities.

After rocking the AES 500 Parade with its magical performanceBarbara Palvin Sprouse and Dylan Sprouse took the Pacers game by storm. The star couple secured the best seats to watch the Indy team's decisive game to keep their dream of winning the championship alive. Dylan had an important task to complete before the exciting third game. The star actor took on the role of Grand Marshall at the Indy500 and gave the racers the traditional order to report to their cars.

On the other hand, legendary American rapper Flavor Flav, who was sitting on the courtside seats supporting the Pacers, also had a light-hearted moment with the Celtics players. The 65-year-old legend shared a moment with Jrue Holiday, who was preparing for the game.

And to rouse the energy of the TD Garden in the Gainbridge Field House Arena, many Celtics fans and especially Al Horford's father Tito Horford entered the stands to support his son. Star sports analyst Pat McAfee fired up the Celtics crowd despite Andrew Nembhard's resistance in the first half and took the lead against Jayson Tatum & Co.

McAfee's encouragement definitely seemed to have had an effect, as the Pacers extended their lead to 17 points in the second quarter. The Pacers, without their star guard Tyrese Haliburton, ran their usual fast attack and left the Celtics baffled on the court. Despite this, Tatum & Co. managed to reduce the lead to 12 points by halftime.

Will the Pacers’ home advantage be the turning point?

The Indy team definitely seemed to take advantage of the home court advantage. They haven't lost a single home game since the postseason began. In fact, it helped their run tremendously. In the first round against the Milwaukee Bucks, after tying the series 1-1 in Wisconsin, the Pacers turned things around with two consecutive wins to take a 3-1 lead. And finally, they limited the undermanned Bucks with a 4-2 series win.

In the semifinal series, the NY Knicks took a 2-0 lead early in the series with their MSG advantage. While analysts and fans had written the team off, Haliburton & Co. responded with two consecutive clear wins. And they finally clinched the series with a thrilling 4-3 victory in Game 7.

The team nearly won Game 1 at TD Garden on its way to the Conference Finals. Had Jaylen Brown not hit a game-winning three-pointer to force overtime, the Pacers would have scored their first goal of the series. In Game 2, the Pacers had no say as the Celtics ran over them. Nevertheless, the Pacers seem to have maintained dominance over the Celtics in Game 3 despite the absence of their star guard.

Will Game 3 be the turning point of the series? Let us know in the comments below.
