After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers blew the doors off the Celtics 120-99. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
