After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers outlasted the Celtics 98-89. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
