After Action Report

In a track meet, the Celtics snuck past the Pacers 105-104. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
