    The game won’t be re-scheduled to be aired on TNT or it won’t be re-scheduled to be played? If the latter, I know there is no relevance whether Boston wins or loses the extra game.. What about Indiana?

      The game is not being played as it will have no affect on the standings. Brooklyn only has one game remaining and at best can tie Indiana on wins. Even though head-to-head Brooklyn would win (3-0), since Indiana won the Central Division of the Eastern Conference, they win the tie-breaker and finish in third with Brooklyn taking fourth.
