After Action Report

The Celtics rolled past the Pacers 102-82. Every possession went the Celtics way. Shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
