After Action Report
The Pacers handled the Celtics 118-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
