After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Pacers 118-91. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
