After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Pacers 98-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
