After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics squeaked past the Pacers 121-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
