Playing with a point differential, while common in Europe, created a different mindset for American-born players.

The eight-team field for the in-season tournament was finalized Tuesday night with the championship game set for Dec. 9 in Las Vegas.

Boston finishes 3-1 in group play and wins a tie-breaker with Orlando to win Group C.

Holiday is out with an ankle injury and Porzingis has a calf strain.

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown lead Boston to a 113-103 victory despite the absences of Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday.

Orlando is in strong position to advance in the In-Season Tournament after charging back from a 12-point deficit.

Kristaps Porzingis scored 18 points and Jrue Holiday had eight rebounds as Boston beat Milwaukee in a matchup of the top teams in the Eastern Conference.

Boston played poorly but managed to win against Toronto and Memphis but couldn’t overcome its mistakes in an overtime loss on Monday.

Jayson Tatum scores with 45 points, but misses a free throw with 5.2 seconds left that would have tied the game.

Kristaps Porzingis scores 26 points, including the winning basket, and blocks a shot at the buzzer.
