After Action Report
The Pacers downed the Celtics 120-109. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
