After Action Report
The Pacers stunned the Celtics 115-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
