After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Pacers 109-87. Celtics torched the Pacers on the offensive end. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
