After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics fended off the Pacers 130-123. Celtics torched the Pacers on the offensive end. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
