After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Pacers 127-112. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
