After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Pacers 110-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
