After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Pacers 105-103. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Pacers. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
