The Celtics pulled away from the Pacers 113-101. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; the Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
