After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Pacers 106-81. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
