After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Pacers 107-103. Celtics' offense had its way with the Pacers. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
