After Action Report
The Pacers survived the Celtics 107-104. Pacers torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
