After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Pacers 104-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
