After Action Report
The Pacers held off the Celtics 104-98. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
