After Action Report
The Pacers survived the Celtics 97-94. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Pacers; the Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
