After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Pacers 126-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Pacers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
