After Action Report

The Pacers handled the Celtics 115-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
