After Action Report

The Celtics outlasted the Pacers 129-112. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers are in a full-on tailspin. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
