After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Pacers 119-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
