After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Pacers 104-98. Celtics' offense had its way with the Pacers. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
