After Action Report
The Celtics downed the Pacers 99-89. Celtics torched the Pacers on the offensive end. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
