After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Pacers 132-110. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
