After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Pacers 122-112. Celtics torched the Pacers on the offensive end. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
