After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics held off the Pacers 116-109. Celtics' offense had its way with the Pacers. Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
