After Action Report

The Pacers outlasted the Celtics 110-102. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
