After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Pacers 99-85. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
